ABOUT COLLEGE:
Brilliant in his studies but dismissive of athletics, Ronald (Buster Keaton) finishes high school at the top of his class. However, his uptight attitude doesn't win him any points in college, where his sports-loving classmates and the lovely Mary ignore him in favor of brutish jock Jeff. Determined to impress Mary, Ronald hilariously fumbles his way through every sport imaginable.
ABOUT THE ORGANIST:
Ron Carter is a sought-after theatre organ concert and silent film accompanist who has played in theaters throughout the southeast. As the House Organist for the Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre and a respected member of the American Theatre Organ Society, Ron brings unparalleled expertise and passion to his performances. With a rich history of contributions to the arts and his community, Ron's music is sure to enhance your movie experience.
ABOUT THE MIGHTY ALLEN:
The Strand’s Mighty Allen Theatre Organ, a four-manual, 33-rank digital replica of a 1920s Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ, is an extraordinary instrument. Custom voiced to The Strand’s 530-seat auditorium, it features revolutionary technology and a digital toy counter that activates special effect sounds, bringing silent films to life in an immersive way.
