  Lillian Gish gives one of silent cinema’s most haunting performances in this masterpiece set on the unforgiving plains of the American West. As the relentless wind howls across the screen, Gish's heroine battles her inner demons in a role that was personally meaningful to her. In fact, it was her idea to adapt this film from the novel. With powerful visuals, The Wind was one of the last great silent films.

  1925 Silent • Live Accompaniment by Robert York on the Mighty Wurlitzer • Introduction by Author Lara Gabrielle • 1 hr 10 min · Romance

  Before Times Square was all flash and neon, this silent film lit up the screen with a story set in the gaslamp era of New York City. Filmed with some 2-strip Technicolor sequences and even some hand-coloring in the final sequence, it was the 21st film for Marion Davies. It’s clear to see what made her a star!

  1925 Silent • Live Accompaniment by Randy Woltz on the Mighty Wurlitzer • Introduction by Author/Historian Steven C. Smith • 1 hr 46 min · Adventure

  Before KING KONG or JURASSIC PARK, there was THE LOST WORLD, a silent-era spectacle that brought dinosaurs to life for the very first time on screen. This landmark film stunned audiences with stop-motion effects by Willis O’Brien, the same genius who later animated King Kong. The thrills may be a century old, but the sense of wonder still roars!
