The Adventurer with Charlie Chaplin / The Haunted House with Buster Keaton

About the show

An exciting double bill featuring an early Chaplin (1917). Charlie, an escaped convict tries to escape his pursuers; will he be able to leave them behind? Come along and find out...taking in some fine music along the chase...

'The Haunted House' is a joy. It's a 1921 American two-reel. Buster who works as a bank clerk gets his hands stuck with a super strong glue. However, things change when his boss accuses him of theft.

Live piano accompaniment makes a huge difference to these films. As Paul Merton has remarked: 'if you have never seen silent comedy on a big screen with a big audience and great live music you will be amazed'
