Classic Laurel & Hardy Silent Shorts

At this meetup, we will head back to the Music Box Theater for a matinee showing of classic Laurel & Hardy with live music accompaniment. Contemporary comedians like Steve Martin and John Cleese name this comic duo as a major influence on their careers.

We'll meet in the lobby of Music Box at 11:00 ahead of the 11:30 showing. I'll have a sign saying Classic Films Meetup so you can find our group. Tickets are $11.00 for adults and $9.00 for seniors.

Here is a description of the screening from The Music Box Theater:

A series of silent shorts with live musical accompaniment by Music Box Theatre's House Organist, Dennis Scott.

One of the greatest comedy teams of all time, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy appeared in hundreds of shorts before starring as a pair of hoboes in the 1927 short Duck Soup (no relation to the Marx Brothers movie). “Ollie” got into the motion picture business as a theater operator at the age of seventeen, who thought he could do better than the bums he saw on screen and set out for Jacksonville, FL (then a burgeoning city for film production), and Stan began his career as an understudy to Charlie Chaplin. This selection of restored 35mm prints represents some of their very best and uproarious work from the last days of silent cinema: Stan and Ollie star as sailors on shore leave stuck in a traffic jam (Two Tars, 1928), stable workers (Wrong Again, 1929), Christmas Tree salesman (Big Business, 1929), and mud slinging golfers (Should Married Men Go Home, 1928). Sons of the Desert members welcome.
