Interesting facts

Kid Auto Races at Venice is a 1914 American film starring Charles Chaplin. It is the first film in which his "Little Tramp" character makes an appearance 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; this film, meanwhile, was released only five days after the first film in which Chaplin appeared, Making a Living. In 2020, Kid Auto Races was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
