The Music House Presents Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times" Accompanied by Andrew Rogers @ The Music House Museum

The Music House Museum presents Modern Times, at 7:00PM on both August 16 and 17. This is a 1936 American comedy film written and directed by Charlie Chaplin in which his iconic Little Tramp character struggles to survive in the modern, industrialized world. The film is a comment on the desperate employment and financial conditions many people faced during the Great Depression, conditions created, in Chaplin’s view, by the efficiencies of modern industrialization. The movie stars Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Henry Bergman,Tiny Sandford and Chester Conklin.
