“A day without laughter is a day wasted.” ~ Charlie Chaplin

In honor of the upcoming Oscars (Feb 22), celebrate the origins of film with a light-hearted afternoon of Charlie Chaplin Short Films! This Sunday, the Michigan Theater is showing four of Chaplin’s best known features, including The Immigrant and The Rink. Take this rare opportunity to travel back in time; bask in the black and white shadows of the silent reel; let your ears fill with the nostalgic revelry of the organ instead of the daily chatter…that’s right! Ann Arbor’s own historic Barton Organ will play the live musical accompaniment to the film! This is definitely a day of fun you don’t want to miss.
