Charlie Chaplin 135th Birthday Celebration w/ MODERN TIMES (1936) presented by Silents, Please! STL
April 10 : 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
This film is presented by Silents, Please! STL and will feature a special introduction from SPSTL’s Kate Stewart.
Silents, Please! STL is throwing Charlie Chaplin a 135th birthday party and you’re invited! Featuring MODERN TIMES.
This comedic masterpiece finds the iconic Little Tramp (Charlie Chaplin) employed at a state-of-the-art factory where the inescapable machinery completely overwhelms him, and where various mishaps keep getting him sent to prison. In between his various jail stints, he meets and befriends an orphan girl (Paulette Goddard). Both together and apart, they try to contend with the difficulties of modern life, with the Tramp working as a waiter and eventually a performer.
Arrive early for a Chaplin look-a-like contest and a new experiment – the mutual jukebox! You’ll get to choose the tunes to put alongside some Chaplin shorts and make your own soundtrack for The Tramp! Pre-show begins at 6 pm.
