The Kid (1921)

Charlie Chaplin’s Little Tramp becomes the Little Father to a baby he finds in the trash. Laughs ensue as the heartbreak grows. Charlie raises the boy into a merry mischief-maker—his partner and son.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14

SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS:
Tracy Marie Duo
Singer-songwriter Tracy Marie and bassist Mike Barrick haven’t teamed up to fight crime—they’re just having a good time playing beautiful, original, heartfelt music. But when Tracy’s voice soars over and through Mike’s liquid bass lines, you will surrender.
