THE WINNING OF BARBARA WORTH (1926) with live original score by Jackie Warren

Dashing engineer Willard Holmes (Ronald Colman) and rugged cowboy Abe Lee (Gary Cooper in a breakout role) vie for the hand of the lovely Barbara Worth (Vilma Banky), a story of the West set against the historical events of the Colorado River Flood of 1908. Pianist extraordinaire Jackie Warren brings the drama to life with her original live score. Free! Reception to follow. This special screening reflects our mission to share the expressive power of early cinema through expert, in-the-moment musical performance.
