Chaplin's Greatest is the Silent Saturday Treat at the Historical Museum

Chris Leverone's Cinema 80 series delivers love, laughs,  music, pathos,and bathos, all in one film. City Lights has it all. Regarded by some critics as the best work in Charlie Chaplin's long career, City Lights has the familiar Tramp character navigating in an unsympathetic world, and the Tramp with problems of his own, trying to bring sight and hope to a blind flower girl!.

Come along for a `reel adventure,' complete with a musical score Chaplin himself wrote (mostly).

In 1949, the critic James Agee called the film's final scene "the greatest single piece of acting ever committed to celluloid."

 `Silent Saturday’ silent film entertainment is Saturdays at 6pm at the Franklin Historical Museum, 80 West Central St. Franklin. The
program is free but donations are encouraged. The program has been developed and delivered in cooperation with the Franklin Senior Center.
