A Rare Treat!

After finishing up at the market Sunday evening, I went home, picked up Buster and headed to the U-District to catch "The Circus" at the Neptune Theater. Only two showings of this long forgotten masterpiece as part of the Seattle International Film Festival.



I never pass up on the opportunity to see great silent film comedies on the big screen. It always does my heart good to hear the sound of contemporary audiences laughing as heartily as the audiences that loved him way back when. The film was well received by a savvy film festival audience. Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed, starred in, composed the music and sang the title song. . . . truly one of a kind, and one of my all time favorites.
