VCT Presents Silent Movie Mondays: *Charlie Chaplin Shorts, The Champion (1915), The Cure (1917) and The Adventurer (1917)* invites you to step back into the golden age of silent cinema at the historic Vancouver Civic Theatre, home to Canada’s only fully operational Wurlitzer organ. Before the film begins, enjoy a lively pre‑show performance by the Gatsby Strutters Jazz Band that sets the nostalgic tone. The screening itself is a two‑hour delight, accompanied by the masterful playing of organists Michael Dirk and Koos Van Nieuwkoop, whose expert touch brings the era’s music to life.

After the credits, the event continues with an engaging discussion on silent‑era special effects led by Keith Blackmore from the Vancouver Film School, featuring a special guest who shares rare insights. The program showcases three of Charlie Chaplin’s most cherished shorts: The Champion, a comedy of an unlikely boxer who uses clever tricks to survive in the ring; The Cure, where Chaplin’s mischievous shenanigans contaminate a health spa’s mineral waters; and The Adventurer, a roguish escaped convict who cuts in with high‑society fashion while staying one step ahead of the police. Don’t miss this unique blend of film, music, and conversation, tickets are available now.
