    1925 • Ramon Novarro • Live Accompaniment by Randy Woltz on the Mighty Wurlitzer • Silent film making at its very best. With the proverbial cast of thousands, and years in the making, it was the most expensive silent film ever produced. In the 1920’s, MGM was able to make films that were epic, and this one still feels that way today. Technologically advanced for its day, the film boasts several colored sequences as well as a terrific sea battle, spectacular chariot race, and memorable birth of Christ sequence.

    1928-silent • Renee Jeanne Falconetti • Accompanied Live by Robert York on the Mighty Wurlitzer • This intense and expressive portrait of Joan of Arc is consistently listed as one of the best silent films ever made. Director Carl Theodor Dreyer captures the essence of her struggles through close-ups of her reactions, and the viewer feels intense sympathy as a result. Falconetti is honest and brilliant, and her raw, natural acting style is ahead of its time. A silent film event not to be missed!

    1928 – silent • Buster Keaton • Live Accompaniment by Pete Eveland on the Mighty Wurlitzer • Steamboat Bill, Jr. is regarded as a masterpiece of its time. Buster Keaton was known for his dangerous stunts. Perhaps the most memorable scene is the iconic moment when an entire building collapses on Keaton, but he’s left standing safely in an open door that falls perfectly around his body. Buster Keaton’s work is true genius; a man far ahead of his time. The film will include live accompaniment by Pete Eveland, who was once the resident calliope player on a steamboat!
