Four masterpieces of fun for all ages from comedy's greatest era gain fresh life in sparkling prints with scintillating music and sound provided by The Alloy Orchestra.

Easy Street stars Charlie Chaplin as a vagrant who reforms and becomes a cop. Assigned to the worst slum in town, he conquers a brute three times his size. "Love backed by force, forgiveness sweet, bring hope and peace to Easy Street." Chaplin, who also wrote and directed this film, creates brilliant humor and profound truth from unblinking observation of poverty and violence. In addition to Alloy's witty accompaniment, this edition offers newly corrected and additional intertitles long-unseen. (1916)

In One Week, Buster Keaton (who also co-wrote and directed) assembles a prefabricated house for his bride during the first six days of their marriage. Unfortunately, the directions are sabotaged by her spurned suitor. As Walter Kerr observed, the place "looks like a dragon's mouth filled with wayward teeth!" One of cinema's unforgettable debuts is reproduced from a newly-discovered source of better quality than the copies previously available. (1920)

Chasing Choo-Choos spends its first half getting star (Monty Banks) and girl on a runaway train. The amazing last half was filmed almost without trick photography on a spectacular stretch of the San Diego & Arizona Railway and is one of the best comedy-thrill stunt sequences ever made. Alloy's style adds special energy to the implacable train. (1927)

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy's Big Business is trying to sell Christmas trees door-to-door - in July. Things go terribly wrong when they call on Jimmy Finlayson. He cuts up their tree and takes their Model T apart; they wreck his house in a slowly escalating orgy of destruction while a cop stares in disbelief and writes it all down. This edition is digitally mastered from the original camera negative. (1929)
