100th Anniversary Celebration! Introduced by Jeffrey Vance, film historian and author of Chaplin: Genius of the Cinema.
The Egyptian Theatre is proud to announce that it will host the U.S. Premiere of a new 4K restoration of Charles Chaplin’s The Gold Rush. This special screening will take place the evening of June 26, 2025, on the exact 100th anniversary of the comic masterpiece’s world premiere at the Egyptian Theatre in 1925.
Following its debut in this year’s Cannes Film Festival, the restoration will screen in over 70 countries on June 26th, with the Egyptian Theatre screening representing the exclusive engagement in the United States. Jeffrey Vance, film historian and author of Chaplin: Genius of the Cinema, will give a special introduction to the film, and a reproduction of the original, 24-page program from the 1925 theatrical engagement will be available onsite for 25 cents, the cost of the program in 1925.
The Gold Rush charts a prospector’s search for fortune in the Klondike and his discovery of romance, and forever cemented the iconic status of Chaplin and his Little Tramp character. Shot partly on location in the Sierra Nevadas and featuring such timeless gags as the dance of the dinner rolls and the meal of boiled shoe leather, The Gold Rush is an indelible work of heartwarming hilarity.
This new restoration of The Gold Rush draws from elements held by Roy Export, including materials originally prepared for Kevin Brownlow and David Gill’s 1993 reconstruction, enhanced by materials sourced from archives around the world, including the BFI National Archive, Blackhawk Films and The Lobster Films Collection, Das Bundesarchiv, Filmoteca de Catalunya, George Eastman Museum, and MoMA – Museum of Modern Art. The work was carried out by Cineteca di Bologna and L’Immagine Ritrovata. The music, originally composed by Charles Chaplin in 1942, was adapted, arranged, and conducted by Timothy Brock for this restoration of the 1925 version of the film, and performed by Orchestra Città Aperta.
"The first comedy of epic proportions." Los Angeles Times
“A distinct triumph for Charlie Chaplin.” Variety
“Chaplin’s greatest picture.” Vanity Fair
