The Charlie Chaplin Experience
Congratulations on your part in bringing Charlie Chaplin to Cooranbong (“Tramp fans,” Connections Vol 26 No 23). I live in Dora Creek and have a great collection of Chaplin films. Five years ago, I returned to my old home town of Manchester in England. Manchester is the home of the Halle Orchestra. I attended one of the orchestra’s concerts in the city’s The Bridgewater Hall. The concert featured the screening of Chaplin’s film The Goldrush, with the original music played by the orchestra. The memories of the concert—the highlight of my tour to the United Kingdom—still brings tears to my eyes. I would love to see a re-enactment in Australia, perhaps even in Cooranbong.
