One of the most popular and memorable of film comedians, Charlie Chaplin is probably best known as the Little Tramp, with a cane, a bowler hat, and defiant walk.  He directed and acted in many of his films and carefully chose his female co-stars.  

The Tramp, 1915, 36 minutes.
October 9, Co-starring Edna Purviance, Charlie takes to the road, falls in love with the farmer’s daughter, becomes a farmhand, and foils a plot by dastardly hoboes to rob the farmer. 36 minutes.  This film, with its mixture of comedy, pathos, and classic slapstick, is considered Chaplin’s first masterpiece.  

Shoulder Arms, 1918, 36 minutes.
October 16, Charlie wanders through WWI battlefields disguised as a tree, almost single-handedly defeats the German Kaiser, and receives a victory parade in New York City.   

The Kid, 1921, 68 minutes.
