Toronto Outdoor Picture Show’s “Dynamic Duos” series will conclude this August with Charlie Chaplin’s first full-length silent film, and one of cinema’s greatest examples of silent comedy. THE KID follows “The Tramp,” a blundering boyish vagabond played by Chaplin, as he stumbles upon an abandoned baby who he takes under his wing. Full of the laughs and tears we know to expect from a Chaplin gem, this acclaimed slice of early cinema is a heartwarming portrayal of well-intentioned mischief in the name of loyalty and love.

Screening with THE KID is Winnifred Jong’s short comedy MILK, about a grandmother and grand-daughter’s comic miscommunication over the household grocery list, and Richard B. Pierre’s quirky ode to silent slapstick comedy, SQUEAKY SHOE, in which we learn why two squeaks are better than one.
