Charlie Chaplin: The Kid Auto Race in Venice

Kid Auto Races at Venice is a 1914 American film starring Charles Chaplin in which his “Little Tramp” character makes his first appearance in a film exhibited before the public. The first film to be produced that featured the character was actually Mabel’s Strange Predicament; it was shot a few days before Kid Auto Races but released two days after it.
