A Dog’s Life and Pay Day

two films by Charlie Chaplin

Just like four years ago, the closure of Happy Piano Day 2024 in the San Telmo park featured two classic silent movies: A Dog’s Life and Pay Day by the great Charlie Chaplin. Once again, the screening was accompanied by Federico Lechner.

What was different this time is that, at about 21:45, they run out of electricity, or the generator run out of gas and then they run out of electricity. So the lights and projector went off and we missed the last ten or so minutes of Pay Day. The pianist did his best to play the coda, and that was it. I think this added authenticity to the whole show.
