**Last week, in April 2010, the San Francisco Symphony played the music during a special showing of Charlie Chaplin's film, The Gold Rush. Music which Charlie Chaplin himself wrote. (This Gold Rush was in Alaska, not California. The Klondike Gold Rush, 1897. Novels: Jules Verne, Le Volcan d'Or; James Michener, Alaska.)
Have you seen Chaplin's most successful silent film? Do you remember this scene?
Look, listen, laugh and enjoy!
