Come be transported back to the early 20th century when the historic Newtown Theatre presents “Charlie Chaplin’s Silent Shorts” on Thursday, September 11 at 8:00 p.m. This special event will feature several of Chaplin’s silent films accompanied by Not So Silent Cinema Orchestra – a chamber music ensemble that performs live music to silent films.

The three films being screened that day include “The Cure” (1917), “The Adventurer” (1917), and “The Pawnshop” (1916).

Prior to the mid-1920s, all movies were silent, and dialogue was transmitted through mute gestures, mime and title cards, which contained a written indication of the plot or key dialogue. For added effect, silent films were commonly accompanied by musicians who provided a live score in the movie house. The Newtown Theatre, which showed its first film in 1906, was one of these places.

Come be transported back to the early 20th century when the historic Newtown Theatre presents “The Golem: How He Came into the World” (1920).

This spooky silent movie screening will be accompanied by Not So Silent Cinema Orchestra – a chamber music ensemble that performs live music to silent films.

“The Golem: How He Came into the World” is a German silent horror film and a leading example of the early German Expressionism. Director Paul Wegener, who co-wrote the script based on Gustav Meyrink's 1915 novel, stars as the titular creature, a being in Jewish folklore created from clay.

“The Golem: How He Came into the World” is the third of three films that Wegener made featuring the golem, the other two being “The Golem” (1915) and “The Golem and the Dancing Girl” (1917). “The Golem: How He Came into the World” is a prequel to “The Golem” and, as the only one of the three films that has not been lost, is the best known of the series.

Prior to the mid-1920s, all movies were silent, and dialogue was transmitted through mute gestures, mime and title cards, which contained a written indication of the plot or key dialogue. For added effect, silent films were often accompanied by musicians who provided a live score in the movie house. The Newtown Theatre, which showed its first film in 1906, was one of these places.

Dirty Dollhouse, featuring singer/songwriter Chelsea Mitchell, will perform at the historic Newtown Theatre to benefit A Love for Life and pancreatic cancer research.

One hundred percent of proceeds from this concert will benefit A Love for Life, which raises funds for pancreatic cancer research at the Abramson Cancer Center at Penn.

A donation receipt serves as a ticket to the concert. Any donation of $30 or more entitles the holder’s entry into the concert.

Dirty Dollhouse, spearheaded by Newtown’s own Chelsea Mitchell, merges folk, retro-pop, and country. Her new album, “The End,” was released in November 2024. It takes listeners through a poignant narrative of love, loss and healing, reminding us that with every ending comes a new beginning.

Founded in 2012, A Love for Life is a non-profit organization that has raised more than $1 million for pancreatic cancer research at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. The average survival rate for stage IV pancreatic cancer is a little over six months, and A Love for Life is determined to change that.

DETAILS

• For this special fundraiser screening, tickets are purchased by making a donation of $30 or more to A Love for Life. They can be purchased only through the link above or at the door on the night of the event.

• All tickets are general admission.
