Charlie Chaplin’s The Gold Rush with Live Musical Accompaniment

Wednesday, November 13th, 6:00-8:00pm, Community Room

Join us for a special screening of The Gold Rush, with live musical accompaniment!

In this 1925 classic film, Charlie Chaplin plays a prospector who goes to the Klondike during the 1890s gold rush in hopes of making his fortune, and is smitten with a girl he sees in a dance hall.

Richard Hughes will provide some background on the film and then accompany the film on the piano as we enjoy this silent treasure. As a boy, Richard got hooked on the Keystone comedies shown on public TV and, years later, he learned the “Mood Music” used to accompany silent movies. He is currently traveling throughout New England presenting his programs at libraries, schools and other events. They are fun to watch and a great way to experience our past.
