• Laurel & Hardy Shorts (1921-1928, 2 hs)

The comedy portion (10 AM) will be delivered in collaboration with both the Philadelphia and Downingtown Chapters of the Sons of Desert, the official fan club of Laurel & Hardy film enthusiasts.  Three Laurel & Hardy silent short films will be featured, including “Two Tars” accompanied by Wayne Zimmerman.
