The Pawnshop (1916)
26 minutes

One of Chaplin’s memorable films which inspired other comedians. Comedy shorts full of physical action and gags, are deceptive and effectively fool the audience into believing that the comedians are simply stumbling through a comedy routine when in fact each step has been painstakingly planned and executed. This is especially the case with Chaplin, who was known to be a perfectionist to a fault.
A master comedian can make a humorous situation with any everyday item or event, and Chaplin demonstrates this here with a customer’s clock, and then makes use of the clothes wringer to clean the dishes! This formula of the Little Tramp, the girl and the bully became a popular standard, not just for Chaplin but also for his contemporaries.



Number Please (1920)
25 minutes

One of the silent era’s most entertaining shorts. Harold Lloyd‘s comedy deals with romantic rivalry, the best intentions and a pesky dog with a purse. Confused?
If yes, this zany and fast-paced silent short has achieved its purpose.
Lovesick men including Harold here spend so much time to right the wrongs and win the girl. Charming and laden with hilarious gags with the best involving an (un) helpful telephone operator.


Dog Shy (1926)
23 minutes

Afraid of dogs since early childhood, Charlie Chase finds refuge from a dog in a telephone booth where the line is still open to a sobbing girl who is being forced to marry a nobleman she barely knows. After this brief telephone encounter, Charlie’s mission is to find the girl, and does so by becoming the family’s new butler.
Hilarious misunderstandings, such as with his orders to ‘give The Duke (the dog) a bath’, lead to a midnight rendezvous involving burglars, the husband who wants to get rid of the family dog, and the eloping couple.
More stylized and sophisticated than the slapstick comedies of the previous decade, Chase’s great talents excel in short comedies that tell a little story, and whose humour relies more on puns, word games and misunderstandings than physical gags and stunts.
