New Year’s Eve: Quintessential Chaplin | Nob Hill

Start the New Year funny with 90 minutes of classic Charlie Chaplin short films: The Cure, The Immigrant, and The Adventurer. Famed New York organist Dorothy Papadakos will accompany the films on the cathedral’s renowned Aeolian-Skinner organ.

Is there anything that Charlie Chaplin can’t do? In The Cure, Charlie is at his short best as a wealthy inebriate who checks into a health spa and promptly throws the establishment into chaos. As The Little Tramp in The Immigrant he endures a challenging voyage and then gets into trouble as soon as he arrives in America. In The Adventurer, The Little Tramp escapes from prison (a nod to his Keystone Kops days), saves a girl and her mother from drowning, and creates havoc at a swank party.

In short, an evening of hysterically funny pure comic genius.

Dorothy Papadakos came to international attention as organist for the world’s largest gothic cathedral, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, where she served from 1990-2003. She is the only woman ever appointed to this post. She is a member of the six-time Grammy Award-winning Paul Winter Consort, and she is celebrated for her daring and imaginative improvisations and compositions for theatre, film, television, and ballet. Her new musical BACCHUS broke box office records in its acclaimed world premiere in Wilmington, NC. She is a renowned performer, popular for her rave review, sold-out, silent film accompaniments.
