What was the book next to the alarm clock?


There was a book next to Mike's alarm clock. I was wondering if anyone knew what title it was. I know Bukowski's Hollywood was on his desk. The book next to the alarm clock looked like there was Charlie Chaplin on the cover but I'm not sure.

Anyone know?

The image is grainy even on the blu ray, but it's definitely a hardback book without its dust jacket and the image is of three Chaplin heads. I'm 90% sure that the title is 'The something of Film Comedy'. I'm 60% sure that the something is 'Rise'.

There is a book 'Yesterday's Clowns; The Rise of Film Comedy' by Frank Manchel, but a Google search only brings one picture of the book and it's with the dust jacket. So, could be.
