We're throwing this to the kids today with three comedies centered on the kids! The masterpiece The Kid 1921 starring Chaplin and Jackie Coogan “The Little Tramp rescues an orphan baby from the streets and raises him as his own. A miraculous pairing in this clever and innovative marriage of sentiment and slapstick, a story of pancakes, fistfights, and dodging social services and policemen - as the opening title card says, “a picture with a smile - and perhaps a tear.” An instant hit in 1921, The Kid remains a masterwork of cinema.”-from Charlie Chaplin.com And once again, Chaplin, as The Little Tramp, makes the statement about how family is one you make not necessarily the one you're born with. Brats 1930 -like you've never seen in close to a century--the SILENT version. In a study of contrast with the Chaplin masterwork, comes the pure comic mayhem that only Laurel and Hardy can provide. All Stan and Ollie want to do is spend a quiet evening at home playing checkers. Little Ollie and little Stanley have other plans as they constantly interupt the peace with escalating chaos. We're sure many parents will relate. Screening materials courtesy of Kit Parker Films. BONUS: A secret short that will delight! Live Accompaniment by Jordan Klapman-please note: due to copyright requirements, The Kid must be screened with the recorded soundtrack. Jordan will be playing live for all other films.
