Kid Auto Races at Venice (1914), Charlie Chaplin
This was the first time Charlie played his famous Tramp character. The short was filmed during the Junior Vanderbilt Cup, an actual race, with Chaplin and his co-stars improvising gags in front a real life spectators seeing and reacting to the Tramp character for the first time. It was filmed in forty-five minutes. This short film shows the tramp getting in the way of newsreel cameras trying to shoot a soapbox car race.
