Silent Laughter in London: it’s this weekend!

Well, here we are. Somehow it’s November, and it’s almost time for the Silent Laughter Weekend at London’s Cinema Museum. We think it’s a great lineup, from classics with Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd and Laurel and Hardy, through to obscurities and rediscoveries starring everyone from Dorothy Devore, Monty Banks and Charley Bowers to Marion Davies and Pat & Patachon. Plus the UK re-premieres of long unseen  films with Charley Chase, Syd Chaplin, Charlie Murray and Clara Bow.

The trailer above gives a good flavour of what’s to come, but if you want to know more, here are the full programme notes for the weekend:

(And if that doesn’t convince you, we’ve got a whole load of “Easter Egg” extras to add in. AND some of the most talented silent film accompanists playing for each show!) Here’s the link to buy tickets, if you haven’t already:
