"THE CAT AND THE CANARY (1927) August 22, 2026 at Parson's Nose Theater in Pasadena, California, 7:00 PM! Here we go - my next silent film score will be Paul Leni's 1927 comedy/thriller "The Cat and the Canary." This is one of my favorites, and if you don't know the film it's great fun!
My next silent film score will be "IT" with the great Clara Bow on February 21, 2026 at 7:00 PM at Parson's Nose Theater in Pasadena! And no, it's not about a killer clown. "IT" is one of the first and certainlly one of the most influential RomComs. It's a really fun film! #silentfilm #ClaraBow
