A special event featuring Roxy Films organist Bernie Anderson as music accompanist for an afternoon of feature and short silent films. Films to be shown are Harold Lloyd’s 1928 classic Speedy (85 m.) and Buster Keaton’s 1922 short film Cops (18 m.).

Bernie Anderson, has performed as a silent film organist/composer for more than 15 years in New York and New Jersey.  He served as organ curator for the Union County Arts Center 2/7 Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ since 1998. In 2003, he was the premiere organist for AGO's Pipe Organ Encounter held at Radio City Music Hall on their 4/58 Wurlitzer.

The term silent film describes any movie made from 1893 to roughly around 1926-1928. In 1926, "The Jazz Singer" was released and Hollywood never looked back; the dawn of sound was here. But for roughly 35 years, the only sound you heard in a movie theatre was made by the live musicians in the orchestra pit. The music could be as simple as a piano player in the Nickleodeons or as grand as a symphony orchestra as it was in movie palaces like The Roxy, The Capitol or The Paramount Theatre in New York City and Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. On the screen you saw movie stars such as Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Rudolph Valentino and Mary Pickford.
