Comedy great Harold Lloyd heads to college
   in his biggest box office hit
                         Silent Sundays continue with
                         The Freshman on March 22nd
                           Bring the family to the Playhouse March 22nd at 2:30pm for
                         a Sunday afternoon at the movies featuring the 1925 collegiate
                         comedy, The Freshman, starring silent comedy great Harold Lloyd!
                            Lloyd plays Harold Lamb, a kind-hearted, optimistic, and
                         “bespectacled go-getter who heads off to college thinking his
                         experiences will be just like the ones he saw in the movies”
                         (tcm.com). He soon realizes though that college is not what
                         it seems. In the hopes of becoming popular on campus, he
                         tries joining the football team. “This crowd pleaser is a gleeful
                         showcase for Lloyd’s slapstick brilliance and incandescent charm.”
                         (criterion.com).
                            The Freshman was Lloyd’s biggest box office hit. Called the
                         ‘grand-daddy’ of college comedies, the film influenced college
                         themed films thereafter. In 1990, The Freshman was added
                         to the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry, deemed as
                         "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."
                           Accompanying the film on the Playhouse’s 1924 Mighty
                         Wurlitzer theater pipe organ is American Theatre Organ Society’s
                         Organist of the Year (2012) Mark Herman.
                            The series concludes with Charlie Chaplin’s The Gold Rush
                         (1925) which “charts a prospector’s search for fortune in the
                         Klondike and his discovery of romance” on May 31st. It was the
                         film that Chaplin stated he would most like to be remembered by
                         and remains “one of cinema’s enduring classics, starring, written,
                         and directed by the twentieth century’s first media superstar”
                         (tcm.com).
