Classic Silent Film Night with LIVE MUSIC!

Start: Saturday, November 29, 2025 7:00PM
End: Saturday, November 29, 2025 9:00PM

What to do with those pesky Thanksgiving weekend guests?  Join us for a special 100^th Anniversary Celebration of Charlie Chaplin’s favorite film, The Gold Rush, on a big screen with LIVE MUSIC accompaniment from internationally acclaimed silent film musicians Donald Sosin and Joanna Seaton. There will also be a Sing-Along of songs from the 1920s!

The Gold Rush is a 1925 American silent comedy film written, produced, and directed by Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin stars in the film (in his Little Tramp persona) as the Lone Prospector, who heads north to join an estimated 100,000 prospectors in the Klondike Gold Rush in Yukon, western Canada.

Chaplin’s famous rogue figure becomes a gold-digger determined to face all the pitfalls associated with the search for gold, such as sickness, hunger, cold, loneliness, or the possibility that he may at any time be attacked by bears.

Trapped in a small cabin by a blizzard, the Tramp is forced to share close quarters with a successful prospector, Big Jim (Mack Swain) and a fugitive, Black Larsen (Tom Murray). Eventually able to leave the cabin, he falls for a lovely dance hall girl, Georgia (Georgia Hale) and tries valiantly to win her affections. When Big Jim needs help relocating his claim, it appears the Tramp's fortunes may change.

TICKETS: $15, at the door
