THIS YEAR MARKS the 100th anniversary of cinema's most iconic figure first gracing the silver screen--Charlie Chaplin's "The Tramp," or as the comedian called him, "The Little Fellow." The movie was a split reel (approximately six minutes long) called "Kid Auto Races at Venice" (1914), also known as "The Pest." Though the pants would get baggier and the shoes larger for those "east west feet" (a phrase coined by poet and early film critic Carl Sandburg), the Tramp was born.

Created by Chaplin, who served as producer, director, screenwriter, actor and composer, the film simultaneously depicts Chapin's Tramp as an innocent pre-adult, documents its then "modern times" as a time of material progress reflected in the money that its urban citizens enjoyed in the midst of the Great Depression, and is infused with a nostalgia for a pre-industrial, rural state in which the movies played no part.
