Experience Charlie Chaplin's "The Kid" with live improvised accompaniment by Jay Warren, Chicago's foremost photoplay organist.

The opening title of Chaplin's masterpiece reads: "A comedy with a smile—and perhaps a tear." This is a heartwarming and timeless story with Charlie as The Tramp, a man who takes care of an abandoned child and faces a series of events that jeopardize their relationship. Experience the hi-jinx, pratfalls, comedy, and drama only Chaplin can create!

Jay Warren, Chicago's foremost photoplay organist, brings all the color, excitement, and glamour of the silent film era back to life with his original scores for the silver screen. As a regularly featured photoplay organist for the Silent Film Society of Chicago, he has accompanied most of the great silent films throughout his forty-year career in his famous rousing style.
