Accompanying the film is organist Russ Peck.

In addition to being an organist, he is principal timpanist for the Tifereth Israel Community Orchestra.
About the film; Kicking off our new season is Robin Hood on July 6th at 2:30pm! Starring the ‘King of Hollywood’ Douglas Fairbanks, this story differs from the film adaptations that would follow. In the first half of this silent classic, you’ll learn the backstory of the Earl of Huntingdon (Fairbanks), the man who would become Robin Hood.
The King’s treacherous brother, who is regent and is planning to seize the throne permanently, has enacted cruel practices during his time in power, throwing England into disarray. When the Earl learns what is happening from his beloved Lady Marian, a legendary character emerges.
With epic sets and over a million dollars spent, Fairbanks brings Medieval England to life in this adventure drama.
