Enjoy an old, old fashioned Saturday Afternoon at the Movies at Windsor Historical Society.
Internationally known Connecticut
performers Donald Sosin and Joanna Seaton provide fabulous musical
accompaniment for silent films. On the
playbill: Upstream, a long-lost and
recently rediscovered 1927 movie by John Ford.
It’s a back-stage comedy where Shakespeareans and vaudevillians face
off, featuring a love triangle between a vain but not terribly talented member
of a famous acting family, the gifted young knife-thrower who loves him, and
her partner who of course adores her. And,
to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Charlie Chaplin’s appearance
as The Tramp on the silver screen, we will see him in a short film from 1916, The Count which involves a tailor’s
handyman, fair maidens, a count, imposters and a burned pair of trousers. For all ages.
COST: $6 adults, $5 seniors and students, $4 members. We’ll provide popcorn and drinks. For more
information, contact the Society at 860/688-3813 or online at www.windsorhistoricalsociety.org. Snow date: January 25, 2 PM to 3 PM.
