About this Event

The Second Hundred Years

1927 | 23 MIN


Stan and Ollie, two inmates, escape from Pr*son by digging a tunnel but accidentally surface in the warden's office, leading to their capture and return to their cell. Undeterred, they disguise themselves as painters and sneak out during a meal break, only to attract a policeman's attention and hijack a limousine, posing as French dignitaries. At a governor’s banquet, their charade unravels amidst a series of comical blunders, culminating in a chase that sends them back to Pr*son.


No Publicity

1927 | 21 MIN


“No Publicity” is a short comedy featuring Eddie Howard, a publicity agent with a knack for unconventional and humorous promotional tactics. Eddie's quirky methods to generate buzz for a new play lead to a cascade of comedic mishaps and misunderstandings involving the play’s star, Sally Lawrence, and other high society figures. The film unfolds with a series of lighthearted and amusing situations, delivering an entertaining storyline full of laughs.


Easy Street

1917 | 24 MIN


When Charlie the Tramp stumbles into a mission and falls for Edna, he returns the stolen collection box and reforms himself into a policeman. Assigned to the gritty Easy Street, Charlie faces off against the formidable Eric the Tough, ultimately subduing him by tricking him into a gas pipe. Charlie's heroics not only aid the impoverished community but also lead to Eric's redemption, as he rescues Edna, transforms Easy Street, and overcomes his own adversities.
