Despite “The Cameraman” (1928) being used for years by MGM as an example of the perfect comedy the film was almost lost forever b/c the ONLY COPY was destroyed in the 1965 MGM vault fire. The current restoration comes from prints found in Paris & a copy found in the early 90s. Additionally, one reel was removed from the film by MGM some time in the 1950s and the current prints have a noticeable 3ish mins or so missing as well.

“The Cameraman” (1928) is considered one of Buster Keaton’s best films. While the directing credit goes to longtime MGM-era Keaton collaborator Edward Sedgwick, it’s known that Keaton was essentially the film’s co-director

“His New Job” was Charlie Chaplin’s first film for Essanay Studios after he left Keystone in late 1914. It’s also the only film that Chaplin shot in Chicago, where Essanay Studios was based. After this he made a deal to shoot his films in California

We're always happy to give a boost to other local theaters showing interesting stuff, especially if it's silent--well, at least if it's not at the same time as one of our shows :)
Anyway, this Sunday, #TheRoxie is showing Menschen am Sonntag.
