By Susan King, Los Angeles Times The Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra's 22nd annual Silent Film Gala at UCLA's Royce Hall has lined up two classic Charlie Chaplin comedies from 1918 — "A Dog's Life" and "Shoulder Arms" — with Timothy Brock conducting Chaplin's original scores, which Brock restored and adapted. But Brock won't be conducting Sunday night's curtain-raiser, the 1927 Walt Disney silent Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoon short "Trolley Troubles."
