Caught in a Cabaret & The Kid Brother

These films were screened as a part of the cycle El resto es silencio: Normand, Lloyd, Keaton, Chaplin, Fatty y otras sonrisas de antaño by Vértigo.

Caught in a Cabaret

a film by Mabel Normand

Charlie Chaplin’s cinema career began in 1914. Caught in a Cabaret is just one of 36 (!) films featuring Chaplin released that year. Also starring the director, Mabel Normand. Watch for Minta Durfee as a dancer at 20:00.

The Kid Brother

a film by Ted Wilde and J.A. Howe

A classic 1927 comedy starring Harold Lloyd and Jobyna Ralston.

By a strange coincidence, both Mabel Normand and Ted Wilde died at the tender age of 36.
