SATURDAY EVENING PROGRAM Before the Feature:
Chaplin Studio Tour - Charlie's longtime cameraman Rollie Totheroh gives a tour of the LaBrea studio in 1953. (We thank the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, Lobster Films and the Chaplin estate for this 35mm one-reel print)
THE CIRCUS locations talk - Film historian John Bengtson, hailed "the great detective of silent film locations" by the New York Times, will share the locations and visual history hidden in the background of Charlie Chaplin’s early masterpiece, The Circus.
FEATURE: THE CIRCUS (1928, Chaplin Studios) The ringmaster of an impoverished circus hires Chaplin's Little Tramp as a clown, but discovers that he can only be unintentionally funny. All you need to know is this film has Charlie at a circus – how much fun will that be! Enjoy this lesser-known cinema treat that is a real classic. Also stars Merna Kennedy as the girl he wants to impress.
Bruce Loeb, piano accompaniment
Other than when noted, 16mm prints will be projected
