Join us for a special screening of the 1927 classic film IT, with LIVE musical accompaniment!Shopgirl Betty Lou (played by Clara Bow) has designs on Cyrus Waltham, the handsome owner of the department store where she works.

In hopes of attracting Waltham's attention, she accepts a date with his best friend, Monty, under the condition that they dine at the Ritz, where Waltham also has a dinner date that evening. Richard Hughes will provide some background on the film and then accompany the film on the piano as we enjoy this silent treasure.

These silent films are fun to watch and a great way to experience our past.This program does NOT require registration, but you may sign up below if you would like an email reminder of the event.
