'Charlot en Las Canteras'


The inscription is hard to make out, but I think it reads 'With affection, Liu Patiaa'. Any idea on who this impersonator is?

  1. Hello, sir. I love your blog. This pictures was taken at Las Canteras Beach, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain). This actor used to be Charlot every single carnival festival, for decades. Regards.
