Celebrate the season at Silent Movie Mondays at Balboa Theatre with a special double feature! Old Scrooge, starring Seymour Hicks, is a British film adaptation of the timeless holiday tale A Christmas Carol. It originally premiered in the UK in 1913 as Scrooge and began playing across the pond with its new title in 1926. A Dog's Life is a heartwarming short film featuring Charlie Chaplin as his famous “tramp” character. Edna Purviance plays his leading lady, but Chaplin's true onscreen support is Scraps, the titular canine companion.
