Silent film double bill to mark the First World War

A silent film double bill with live musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne.

• A Couple of Down and Outs, 1923, directed by Walter Summers

• Shoulder Arms, 1918, directed by Charlie Chaplin
  Shoulder Arms was released in October 1918, weeks before the end of the war. Chaplin plays a soldier sent from training camp to the front line trenches, where his character helps to win the war…
