/// Aurélie paused while reading The Letter.
Chaplin wrote he is sad to upset her.
But “the kid” in a sweater,
(Jackie Coogan), is better.
She’s replaced, but he’ll “never forget her.”
/// She’s a pro, so she won’t scream or wail,
being fired from a film in the mail.
Charlie may well have feared
a girl “Kid” would seem weird.
Underage love could land him in jail.
/// No point dwelling on why Chaplin sacked her.
Film’s recast with a stellar child actor.
These trials will test her;
don’t let envy fester.
She was lacking that on-screen “it” factor.
