"The Immigrant" (1917) is a poignant silent film directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin, that gracefully explores the hopes and hardships of the immigrant experience in America. Through Chaplin's iconic blend of humor and heart, the film tells the story of a newcomer's journey to find a better life, capturing the universal themes of struggle, compassion, and the pursuit of happiness. This timeless classic not only showcases Chaplin's genius but also offers a tender reflection on the human condition, making it an essential piece of cinematic history.

Sierra Madre Playhouse, in partnership with Retroformat Films, is thrilled to invite you to a unique evening that harkens back to the golden age of cinema. On a special night, we celebrate the art of silent film, complemented by the emotive power of live piano accompaniment, just as it was when our doors first opened on February 2, 1924.
