Tillie's Punctured Romance

The Second Saturday Silent Series pairs a classic silent film with a live score played by Bill Rowland on Circle’s restored 1928 theater pipe organ. Tickets just $8 adults, $5 kids, with support from the American Theatre Organ Society Sooner State Chapter, Tulsa Spotlight Theater, and Arts Alliance Tulsa.

This month, see the one and only Charlie Chaplin back on the big screen in the 1914 comedy “Tillie’s Punctured Romance.” Tillie Banks (Marie Dressler), a beautiful heiress, falls prey to a charming crook named Charlie (Chaplin) who lures her to the city and then promptly swindles her. But when Charlie returns to apologize, asking for her hand in marriage, a surprised Tillie cautiously accepts his proposal. As wedding preparations begin, Tillie wonders about Charlie's intentions -- particularly after she receives news that her rich uncle Donald (Charles Bennett) has died mysteriously.
