Program Notes

The Pawnshop was Charlie Chaplin's sixth film for Mutual Film Corporation. Released on October 2, 1916, it stars Chaplin in the role of assistant to the pawnshop owner, played by Henry Bergman. Edna Purviance plays the owner's daughter, while Albert Austin appears as an alarm clock owner who watches Chaplin in dismay as he dismantles the clock; the massive Eric Campbell's character attempts to rob the shop.

- Program Note from score


Alcalde's The Pawnshop suite is apparently intended to be played as accompaniment to Chaplin's The Pawnshop movie as it is projected during the performance.
