Here is two clips from my favorite Charlie Chaplin films.
This one is titled The Circus. Charlie's Tramp character finds himself at a circus where he is promptly gets chased around by the police who think he is a pickpocket. Running into the ringmaster, he is an accidental sensation with his hilarious efforts to elude the police The Tramp has been asked by the ringmaster to do an audition for his comedy act. During the audition they show The Tramp what the comedy skit looks like then he is to reenact it.
This one is titled The Kid. What has happened so far, Edna deposits her new baby with a pleading note in a limousine and goes off to commit suicide. The limo is stolen by thieves who dump the baby by a garbage can. Charlie's Tramp character finds the baby and makes a home for him. Five years later Edna has become an opera star but does charity work for slum youngsters in hope of finding her boy. A doctor called by Edna discovers the note with the truth about the Kid and reports it to the authorities who come to take him away from The Tramp.
Dose anyone else have some favorite silent films to share?
