VCT Presents Silent Movie Mondays – Laurel & Hardy Shorts

Escape to the roaring 1920s at Silent Movie Mondays, a popular new film series presented by Vancouver Civic Theatres! Bring the whole family to the historic Orpheum theatre November 27, 2023 at 7:30pm for Laurel & Hardy Shorts accompanied by Michael Dirk on the theatre’s rare Wurlitzer organ – an instrument originally created to accompany silent films and the last in Canada still in its original home. The evening will also feature a live Jazz Band performance one hour before the show, a fun thematic photobooth, and popcorn & drink specials. The screening will feature three hilarious & family-friendly short films starring slapstick comedy kings Laurel and Hardy: Two Tars (1928), Second Hundred Years (1927) and Battle of the Century (1927). Comedians Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy teamed up in 1927 under the management of Hal Roach film studio and they are still known today as one of the greatest comedy duos in film history. Two Tars, Second Hundred Years and Battle of the Century were some of the first short silent films they created as a duo in 1927-1928 before transitioning to the talkies in the 1930s. Complete with legendary pie fights, prison breaks, dramatic chases, and banana peel slips, these shorts are suitable for audiences of all ages. Tickets start at only $15.50.
