100 years ago children’s performances were a regular part of cinema programmes. But instead of presenting more serious subjects (as happened then), today we present three zany comedies: tailor Charlie dresses up as a Count in the wrong tails; Harold has had enough of life but instead of Heaven he ends up in a house of ghosts; while Larry lives in the lap of luxury in jail, where his life is full of surreal situations. Because these films are silent, their young audiences can comment, yell and laugh as much as they like! Afterwards they can take a look at the projection booth and even take a piece of film home with them.
