A THOUSAND LAUGHS-The Forgotten Clowns of Silent Comedy
The golden age of comedy created some of the funniest movies ever from some of the greatest comedians ever born. Wild, innovative, jumping effortlessly from surrealism to something only slightly resembling reality, they slapsticked their way into the hearts of millions. This is a celebration of the forgotten mirth makers in 6 high spirited shorts.
Fatty Arbuckle in LOVE 1919; Lloyd Hamilton in BREEZING ALONG 1927; Charley Chase in TOO MANY MAMAS; Snub Pollard in LOOKING FOR TROUBLE 1919; Stan Laurel in THE PEST; Larry Semon in THE SHOW.
Introduction by silent comedy scholar Chris Seguin and accompanied live on the piano by Andrei Strelieav
