One of the most beloved actors of all time, Charlie Chaplin made many of his very best Shorts with Mutual Films from 1916-1917. Proctors is proud to celebrate these wonderful films with two different programs on one of the largest movie screens in the Northeast.Though Chaplin wrote, directed, edited, produced and starred in all of his work for Mutual (as he did for most of the nearly 75 movies he made during his long, successful career), a dedicated troupe of talented performers formed around him to assist, including terrific leading lady, Edna Purviance, oft-villainous foil, Eric Campbell (who became nearly as famous as Chaplin) and the versatile Henry Bergman. Together their comic tales frequently focused on underdogs unlikely poised to take on authority, privilege or injustice in its various guises.
Providing musical accompaniment for these treasures is—a treasure himself—Carl Hackert, Program Director of the Hudson-Mohawk American Theatre Organ Society and one of New York’s most celebrated theater organists. Hackert’s performance partner for this event will be “George,” a magnificent digital recreation of George Wright’s famous Hollywood Philharmonic recording studio organ!
Not Rated. Each program runs approximately 75 minutes.
