The 34th annual Silent Movie Night at the Historic Fargo Theatre is planned at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24 and at 2 p.m. Sunday Oct. 26.
One of the silent screen's most endearing comedians, Buster Keaton, will star in “Steamboat Bill, Jr.”
In the film, Keaton, a recent Yale graduate, comes home to find his father, and irascible Mississippi riverboat captain, in deep trouble with a competing company. Buster must save the day, though he must brave jail and a great hurricane to do it.
Lance Johnson will play a live and original score on the four-manual Mighty WuriiTzer pipe organ.
The newly reorganized Fargo Theatre Big Band All-Stars will present a program of 1940s big band favorites to include a special tribute to the music of the legendary Benny Goodman.
Doug Hamilton will serve as MC.
Harvey Summerfeld will appear as a special guest artist. Performing with the band will be the Fargo Theatre Singers.
Antique and classic cars will be on display in front of the theatre.
Tickets are available from all area Hornbacher's stores and the Fargo Theatre (239-8385) at 314 Broadway, Fargo, ND 58108 and ATOS members for $11 or $13 at the door. All seating general admission.
Groups of 10 or more will receive a $2 discount per ticket (credit cards accepted).
