The Everett Theatre Society continues the 2003-2004 season of their popular Silents, Please! film series at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21 with 1928’s “Pandora’s Box” starring Louise Brooks, the third in a series of five silent era movies highlighting the mystery genre.
This classic and controversial silent German film, directed by G.W. Pabst, tells of Lulu (Brooks), a sultry chorus girl whose sexual power literally destroys every man with whom she has an affair — until she encounters one of history’s most notorious killers, Jack the Ripper. The film is accompanied by era music performed by pipe organist Dennis James.
Just in time for Halloween, “Phantom of the Opera” starring Lon Chaney will be screened in an afternoon matinee at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26. The story of a demented organist lurking in the catacombs beneath an Opera House, this is the original silent film version with restored color scenes and the original orchestral score by Hinrichs and Winkler transcribed for organ solo by James.
The series concludes 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 4 with Buster Keaton in “Sherlock Jr.”
Individual tickets for the series are $11 for adults, $10 seniors, military and students, $5 for children 12 &under. Tickets may be purchased at the historic Everett Theatre box office, by calling 425-258-6766, or 45 minutes before each show.
