Chaplin starred in and directed A Night in the Show in 1915 at Majestic Studio in Los Angeles. The film was based on a turn-of-the-century English music hall play called Mumming Birds, which Chaplin often performed during his touring days with Fred Karno’s pantomime troupe.

In the film, Chaplin plays dual roles as Mr. Pest and Mr. Rowdy, audience members who demolish all theater etiquette and create a climax of chaos before the curtain drops.

USA/1926 — directed by William Beaudine | 109 min.

By 1926, Canadian-born film actress Mary Pickford (1892–1979) had become the most powerful woman in Hollywood—celebrated onscreen for her “luminous tenderness and gutter ferocity” (Photoplay, 1916), and behind the camera as a shrewd businesswoman and co-founder of United Artists Studio.

USA/1925 — directed by Buster Keaton | 88 min.

Filmed on location in the Arizona desert, Go West stars Keaton as a young Midwestern man named Friendless, who takes the advice of newspaper publisher Horace Greeley and hops a freight train bound for the West.

There he befriends a dairy cow named Brown Eyes, and together they look out for one another while evading wolves, train robbers, and a one-way trip to the stockyards.
