What a great way to explore early movie entertainment! The Paramount is only a couple years newer so the whole experience is very real!
What a wonderful adventure to be transported back in time when silent films were played and accompanying music performed by a live musician; in the beautiful nearly 100-year old Paramount theatre. The Paramount does an amazing job to welcome movie goers, provide good, hot, fresh, salty popcorn and beverages allowed to be brought in the theater. Some quick announcements and then a guest speaker, this one flown in from NYC, to set the scene of time; and give a history of the actors. Onto the show, two films played, one 12 minutes the other 45 minutes. Lovely, sharp, re-digitized and one archived in the National Library of Congress. No previews, no advertisers; just a good old flick. Afterwards, once you are truly in wonderment of Keaton's technology, acrobatics and cinematography magic, a post q&a is held. Silent Movie Mondays is a pure treasure and this movie-goer cannot wait to go again.
This is so much fun. To watch movies that are over 100 years old and to listen to the amazing musicians playing the beautiful organ is a wonderful experience. And you can't beat the venue at the Paramount and the cost. Go check it out!
This was so much fun. The music and sound effects are amazing. The organ player was fantastic, it's worth just coming to hear him play. The audience really got into the movie. We watched a 102 year old movie that was still halrious today!
All around amazing evening. The live organ turned an already wonderful program into an unexpectedly emotional experience knowing that we were watching these films the way the were intended to be seen. Dana Stevens' pre-show remarks were concise and provided perfect context for the films. As always, the theater is a beautiful venue and thank you for bringing SMM back!!
This was really an enjoyable evening. Watching Buster Keaton on the big screen with the live organ music was just wonderful. The pop corn was good and the audience fantastic. My only complaint, the seats did not have enough leg room ... a great Monday night outing!
Loved the film and live score. Wished the presenter didn’t give such an in depth analysis before film (40+ min.) and either save it to the end or just have faith that the audience can pick out obvious things in the film. Overall great experience and thank you for providing this for our community.
