“THE KID,” hailed as Chaplin’s first full-length masterpiece, follows the story of a tramp who attempts to raise an orphaned boy on his own. “The Kid” took the comedian a year and a half to make and attracted huge crowds when finally released. The role of the orphan, played by 5-year-old Jackie Coogan and directed by Chaplin, is often cited as one of the top child performances ever.

ADMISSION IS $5. For more info, call the box office at 646-3123.
