When Einstein Met Chaplin

Albert Einstein met the only person he wanted to meet in Hollywood, Charlie Chaplin.

They are famously quoted as having had the conversation below at the premiere of "City of Lights" 2 February, 1931. 

“Einstein: What I most admire about your art, is your universality. You don’t say a word, yet the world understands you!

Chaplin: True. But your glory is even greater! The whole world admires you, even though they don’t understand a word of what you say.”
