Max Linder, Part Two: "Max Linder and Francine Larrimore from the Essanay short Max Wants a Divorce (1917)"

Widely considered the father of film slapstick, Max Linder created the blueprints and laid the foundations for the comedians that followed. In addition to Max, this second helping of Linder and Linder-influenced films features star performers such as Charlie Chaplin and Charley Chase, who both owed Linder a particular debt.

Piano accompaniment by Makia Matsumura (November 26) and Ben Model (December 1). Program Approx. 80 min.
