THE GOLD RUSH (1925)

Reportedly Charlie Chaplin’s favorite among his own films and one of his most financially successful besides (a high bar to cross when dealing with a figure of his stature), The Gold Rush finds his beloved Little Tramp character going to Alaska with the hopes of striking it rich in the titular gold rush. Amidst avalanches, blizzards, and romance, the Little Tramp finds time to eat a boiled shoe and choreograph a dinner roll dance. Presented here in the restored version of the 1925 original silent film, not the more common 1942 version to which Chaplin added new music and narration.

Co-presented with Webster Dining Services. For an additional cost, patrons are invited to enjoy a 1920s-themed meal prior to the film at Marletto's, located on Webster University's campus on the north side of the intersection of Big Bend and Edgar, between 5 and 7 p.m. Please note that Marletto’s can only process card transactions. Dinner and the admission to the film will be charged separately. Please call (314) 246-7525 with any questions.
