Marcel Marceau, Master of Mime by Gloria Spielman

New title to our school library, Marcel Marceau, Master of Mime by Gloria Spielman.  In library we learned  how, from the age of five, Marcel Marceau knew he wanted to be a silent actor, just like Charlie Chapline.  When World War II intervened, he joined the resistance, helping to get young Jews to safety during this dangerous time.  But Marcel never forgot his dream of being a mime artist and entertaining the world.
We watched a newscast of Marcel, Charlie Chaplin and current mime which I am hoping inspired our kids to perform in next years school talent show!
