“SEVEN CHANCES”

The long wait for an opportunity to return to EDISON STREET / THE ORGAN LOFT for a classic movie with BLAINE GALE at the Wurlitzer Theatre Organ is almost over. Looking forward to scheduling one of the wonderful BUSTER KEATON comedies from 1925: “SEVEN CHANCES”. DVD Savant writes: “Perhaps what makes great silent comedy so special is the sheer difficulty in describing why it’s so funny. The audience which I’ve seen “SEVEN CHANCES” watched the first few minutes with patient interest and soon thereafter became completely hooked by the crazy fantasy on screen. I have never, not even at a sporting event, seen more audience emotion than at Keaton screenings. . . the contagious laughter grows like an animal separate from the audience itself, until you forget everything except, you’re having the time of your life and laughing like a baby. Even the organ accompaniment was almost drowned out by the audience.” Now after what we all have been through this past year doesn’t that sound like something to look forward to experiencing!  BLAINE GALE will have a delightful organ score for this presentation which will include not only SEVEN CHANCES but also BUSTER KEATON’s exceptional short comedy, ONE WEEK.    September 9th & 10th is the date to look forward and plan for. Please spread the word.

Remember Edison Street is now open for Private Parties, Receptions or that Special Gathering.  Thanks see you soon.
