Take 'The Kid' under your wing at the Lucas Theatre screening
Experience the majesty of the Lucas Theatre’s historic Wurlitzer organ at this special screening of The Kid — Charlie Chaplin’s first full-length feature film — presented with live accompaniment by renowned organist Ron Carter. In the film, Chaplin’s beloved Tramp rescues an abandoned child (Jackie Coogan) from the streets. Together, they form a miraculous duo in this deft blend of sentiment and slapstick. The Kid is not only a milestone in Chaplin’s career but also an artistic turning point that endures today as an expressive masterwork of silent cinema. As the opening title card states: “a picture with a smile — and perhaps, a tear.”
