For Heaven's Sake with organist Mark Herman
Advertisement
Enjoy the 1926 silent film For Heaven's Sake accompanied by Mark Herman on the Grande Page pipe organ.
A man with a mansion falls for a miss with a mission.
Lloyd plays J. Harold Manners, a millionaire playboy who inadvertently contributes to a skid row mission (which is then named in his honor). He meets and falls in love with Hope (Jobyna Ralston), the mission pastor’s daughter, when he visits the mission to protest his name being used. Under her influence, Manners makes parishioners out of all the seedy characters and tough men of the neighborhood. When his idle club friends abduct him on his wedding day (believing they are preventing him from making a foolish mistake), Harold (with his inebriated groomsmen in tow) must race back to the mission so as not to miss his own wedding. The race-to-the-rescue sequence that climaxes For Heaven’s Sake on the double-decker open-top bus is one of Lloyd’s most memorable sequences. Feature. Producer: Harold Lloyd. Director: Sam Taylor.
Free for Embassy members. Non-members: $5 (ages 12 & under and 65+); $10 all others. To obtain free tickets or to purchase tickets, visit the STAR Bank box office at the Embassy.
