Silent Movies with Organ at Broadway Theatre Catford   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3368 of 3504 |

Dear All

I am currently working with the management of the beautiful 1932 Broadway
Theatre Catford (formerly Lewisham Town Hall Theatre) to put on a silent movie
show with organ accompaniment.

I'd like to ask what views any of you have regarding which film or films to
source. Obviously the classic comedies (Keaton/Chaplin etc) always go down well
but I'm also wondering about a more serious feature, particularly one not seen
often but that is a masterpiece such as Metropolis.

As some of you will know, the Catford organ is now in full voice having been
resurrected by my team and it would be good to use it for this purpose, as well
as other concerts etc.

The Broadway has 35mm projection and a large screen so would be ideal.

Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Peter
