Funny Stuff: Silent Comedies and Cartoons
July 16, 2011
Grand Illusion CinemaSeattle, WA
Classic two-reeler comedies with Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin, and Ben Turpin plus silent-era cartoons featuring Felix the Cat, Koko the Clown, and Bobby Bumps.
Bust a gut in air-conditioned comfort with classic 2-reelers and pioneering cartoons from the silent era. Charlie Chaplin brings law and disorder to Easy Street (1917), Laurel & Hardy’s Big Business (1929) goes hilariously wrong in one of their very best, and cross-eyed Ben Turpin is a lost heir in the madcap Idle Eyes (1928). Plus rare cartoons, with the Fleischer brothers’ Koko The Clown, Pat Sullivan’s Felix The Cat, and Earl Hurd’s Bobby Bumps. Fun for all ages!
