A lifelong Socialist and advocate for progressive causes Wagner used "Script" to give a voice to blacklisted screenwriters including Dalton Trumbo and Gordon Kahn and prominent leftists including Sinclair Max Eastman and William C. deMille. <br /> <br /> Wagner served as something of a father figure to Chaplin who was about 17 years Wagner's junior after the two men met sometime in the mid-1910s. The pair formed a close friendship with Wagner serving as Chaplin's part-time secretary for a period and accompanying the actor on his Third Liberty Loan tour through the American south in 1918. Wagner introduced Chaplin to Sinclair and Max Eastman and together the three writers exerted a strong influence over Chaplin's political world view. Chaplin would go on to co-found the Motion Picture Relief Fund which later became the Motion Picture and Television Fund with Wagner in 1929. <br /> <br /> Approximately 5 x 4 inches.
