A quadruple-bill of silent film comedy magic for all the family from Laurel & Hardy and friends - all with live piano.
The Films
In You’re Darn Tootin’, Stan and Ollie are musicians in a brass band and, despite them doing their best, everything goes disastrously wrong. In High and Dizzy, Harold Lloyd is a doctor who gets accidentally drunk before finding himself on top of a tall building with a sleepwalking patient. All Max Linder wants to do is have a bath, but somehow it all goes disastrously wrong. And in the grand finale, the female Laurel & Hardy, Anita Garvin and Marion Byron, cause chaos with ice cream.
