Come enjoy a Sunday afternoon with silent film classics accompanied live by professional pianist Adam Swanson! The next Silent Sunday is going to be a mixed bag of silent cinema. First, Swanson will screen two cute shorts with 1920s child star Baby Peggy who is still active today at one hundred years old, the only living star of the silent era. Next, sit back and watch Buster Keaton's famed 1928 feature comedy Steamboat Bill, Jr. The historic Henry Strater Theatre is a perfect venue for silent film--experience vintage cinema the way it was meant to be! A cash bar with popcorn and candy will be open. These events will be family friendly, so bring your kids and enjoy this fun and unique opportunity.
