SILENT FILM NIGHT
TRAMP, TRAMP, TRAMP (1924)
With Live Piano Accompaniment by David Drazin
Silent Film Night is back at the Wilmette with the 1924 silent comedy classic TRAMP TRAMP TRAMP with Harry Langdon. As with our previous Silent Film Nights, the film will be accompanied on piano by David Drazin. Harry Langdon's second feature film about a man who enters a cross-country walking contest to impress his girl, showcases some of his best routines: throwing small stones at a tornado to scare it away, he spits at it in victory--only to look down and have to wipe the spit off his lapel; or the one in which he gets hung up on a fence nail, unaware that it is all that keeps him from dropping several hundred feet to the highway below! Joan Crawford, working with him for the first time, laughed so hysterically that they had to re-shoot her close-ups after Langdon left the set!
"This picture takes Harry Langdon's doleful face and pathetic figure out of the two-reel class and into the Chaplin and Lloyd screen dimensions ... The boy's good!" -Photoplay.
