Description
See classic silent films as they were intended - with live music! In this farcical comedy starring Constance Talmadge and Ronald Colman, a housewife poses as her sister—a notorious dancer—in order to fool her husband and teach him a lesson. With live piano accompaniment by Ben Model.
The Silent Clowns Film Series is New York City’s longest-running regularly-scheduled showcase for classic silent film comedy. Our screenings have been presented in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The Silent Clowns Film Series is dedicated to presenting silent movies with live musical accompaniment to audiences of all ages, in order to preserve the experience of silent cinema. We produce silent film shows at a variety of venues.
Over the past 28 years, we have presented monthly, year-round showings of the silent movies of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel & Hardy, Harold Lloyd, and many others, all with live musical accompaniment by Ben Model and other accomplished pianists. Our shows are programmed and hosted by Model and film historian Steve Massa, who introduce the films and hold Q&As after each screening. Our programs are geared to classic film fans as well as to families. The Silent Clowns Film Series is supported by New York State Council on the Arts and the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.
