Description
Start the New Year funny with 90 minutes of classic Charlie Chaplin short films: The Cure, The Immigrant, and The Adventurer. Famed New York organist Dorothy Papadakos will accompany the films on the cathedral’s renowned Aeolian-Skinner organ.Is there anything that Charlie Chaplin can't do? In The Cure, Charlie is at his short best as a wealthy inebriate who checks into a health spa and promptly throws the establishment into chaos. As The Little Tramp in The Immigrant he endures a challenging voyage and then gets into trouble as soon as he arrives in America. In The Adventurer, The Little Tramp escapes from prison (a nod to his Keystone Kops days), saves a girl and her mother from drowning, and creates havoc at a swank party.
Organist Dorothy Papadakos is a renowned performer, popular for her rave review, sold-out, silent film accompaniments.
