Join the Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival, the Mt. Lebanon Public Library and The Denis Theatre for a special FREE screening, with live musical accompaniment by Andrew Lasswell, of He Who Gets Slapped (1924) starring silent screen legends Lon Chaney, Norma Shearer and John Gilbert, and directed by Victor Sjöström. A dark, tragic and very emotional silent film, which elevates its circus spectacle with a formidable performance by Chaney as the disgraced, slap-laughing clown. In 2017, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
This is a free screening with no advance registration required - but it will be limited seating, so come a bit early if you want to be sure to get seats!
