Free, outdoor screening at Midtown’s Crossing’s Turner Park!

The Little Tramp punches in and wigs out inside a factory where gizmos like an employee-feeding machine may someday make the lunch hour last just 15 minutes. Bounced into the ranks of the unemployed, he teams with a street waif (Paulette Goddard) to pursue bliss and a paycheck, finding misadventures as a roller-skating night watchman, a singing waiter whose hilarious song is gibberish, a jailbird and more. In the end, as Tramp and waif walk arm and arm into an insecure future, we know they’ve found neither bliss nor a paycheck but, more importantly, each other.

Lawn seating opens at Turner Park at 5 pm, and the film will begin at sunset. Turner Park, located between Dodge and Farnam Streets along Turner Blvd., will host concessions sold by Chicago Dawg House. Admission is free. Monday Night at the Movies, sponsored by the University of Nebraska Omaha, will run throughout the summer.

And if you’re in the mood for a bite or some shopping before the film, many Midtown Crossing businesses have created great offers for Film Streams members.
