plus, to celebrate sational Silent Movie Day on Friday, September 29th, Davey B. Gravey’s Tiny Cinema will be set up outside the New Beverly to showcase silent shorts with live musical accompaniment.

Harold Lloyd’s biggest box-office hit was this silent comedy gem, featuring the befuddled everyman at his eager best as a new college student. Though he dreams of being a big man on campus, the freshman’s careful plans inevitably go hilariously awry, be it on the football field or at the Fall Frolic. But he gets a climactic chance to prove his mettle – and impress the sweet girl he loves – in one of the most famous sports sequences ever filmed. This crowd-pleaser is a gleeful showcase for Lloyd’s slapstick brilliance and incandescent charm. (Janus Films)

But when he finally finds & ashamedly spurns true love because he thinks he’s not worthy, he’s going to have to make a mad dash to stop her from mistakenly marrying someone else.
