Charlie Chaplin's Silent Shorts

Come be transported back to the early 20th century when the historic Newtown Theatre presents “Charlie Chaplin’s Silent Shorts” on Thursday, September 11 at 8:00 p.m. This special event will feature several of Chaplin’s silent films accompanied by Not So Silent Cinema Orchestra – a chamber music ensemble that performs live music to silent films.

The three films being screened that day include “The Cure” (1917), “The Adventurer” (1917), and “The Pawnshop” (1916).

For added effect, silent films were commonly accompanied by musicians who provided a live score in the movie house. The Newtown Theatre, which showed its first film in 1906, was one of these places.

“The Golem: How He Came into the World” is a German silent horror film and a leading example of the early German Expressionism. Director Paul Wegener, who co-wrote the script based on Gustav Meyrink's 1915 novel, stars as the titular creature, a being in Jewish folklore created from clay.

Dirty Dollhouse, featuring singer/songwriter Chelsea Mitchell, will perform at the historic Newtown Theatre to benefit A Love for Life and pancreatic cancer research.

Founded in 2012, A Love for Life is a non-profit organization that has raised more than $1 million for pancreatic cancer research at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. The average survival rate for stage IV pancreatic cancer is a little over six months, and A Love for Life is determined to change that.
