Chaplin with novelist Peter B. Kyne and his son, 1919

Kyne's son, Marcel Dupuis-Kyne, was a French orphan whom he brought back to the States after the war and adopted. Marcel said to his father after his visit to the Chaplin Studios: "Father, you have been so nice to me all the time but when you bring me to play with Charlie Chaplin...Oh!...I think you are wonderful."
