Anything But Silent
LAUREL & HARDY: YEAR 2
Tuesday, January 21st at 7:30 PM
With live accompaniment by Ben Model
Following their initial pairing in early 1927 Laurel & Hardy hit their stride during 1928, turning out several of their best-loved silent shorts. This program includes 3 of these slapstick gems, presented in sparkling new digital restorations. The plot of We Faw Down is a blueprint for the boys' sound feature Sons of the Desert, in which Stan and Ollie sneak out on their wives to have some fun, only to have their alibi backfire. In From Soup To Nuts, Stan and Ollie are cater-waiters at a dinner party of the social elite, and in You're Darn Tootin' they are musicians who go from performing in a concert band to playing in the streets, where their talents precipitate a wild tit-for-tat slapstick battle.
