  • Morning Movie Matinees for Children During Christmas Holidays
    411211 ~ 92 THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 11 WEST 53RD STREET, NEW YORK TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 5-8900 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART TO HOLD MORNING MOVIE MATINEES FOR CHILDREN DURING CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS Morning movie matinees for children will be given by the Museum of Modern Art Film Library at ten-thirty every day except Sundays, Christmas and New Year's Day in the auditorium of the Museum, 11 West 53 Street, from Saturday, December 20, through Saturday, January 3. Admission to the movies is included in the admission to the Museum, which is ten cents for children up to the age of sixteen, plus one-cent tax. Members' children will be admitted to the movies free if accompanied by a parent. Holidays are traditionally a time when children ask to go to the movies—and at Christmas the answer is always yes. The Film Library has this year selected from its current Cycle of 300 Films, tracing the history of the motion pictures, films which children at one time liked and continue to like. The programs thus represent the taste of children themselves rather than, as in the case of most "specially arranged" juvenile programs, the tastes or principles of adults. There will be five programs, each composed of several films and each shown twice on identical days during the two weeks' period, i.e., Program I will be shown Saturday, December 20, and Saturday, December 27, Program II will be shown on Monday, December 22, and Monday, December 29. There will be one additional program, to be given only one showing, on the last Saturday of the series, January 3.

  • The Little Tramp's Continuing Longevity, Post-1977
    E PILOGUE: THE LITTLE TRAMP’S CONTINUING LONGEVITY, POST-1977 If it is still not clear from the preceding chapters that several factions of Americans came together post-1947 to force a re-assessment and even- tual re-invigoration of Charlie Chaplin and his Little Tramp persona in American culture, then the outpouring of love and admiration heaped upon him at his death must solidify this fact. Film critic Andrew Sarris noted in the Village Voice that “we can still say that Charles Chaplin was arguably the single most important artist produced by the cinema, cer- tainly its most extraordinary performer and probably still its most univer- sal icon.” 1 Alden Whitman’s New York Times obituary claimed that “no motion picture actor so captured and enthralled the world as did Charles Spencer Chaplin, a London ragamuffi n who became an immortal artist for his deft and effective humanization of man’s tragicomic confl icts with fate.” 2 And, fi lm critic Stanley Kauffmann wrote in The New Republic : Yes, the Tramp is not a deathless image. Yes, he made us laugh and cry and presumably always will. But, out of the Chaplin moments, put just two together and think of them, and you understand why talking about the Little Fellow is not enough. Think of the moment in The Rink when, with his torso almost motionless, his roller-skated feet move so quickly under him as he tries to keep his balance that his legs almost become a solid blur like the spinning spokes of a wheel. Then think of the last scene in City Lights when the formerly blind girl realizes that this little hobo was her savior, and then the camera goes to his face.
