It’s a unique and enjoyable experience, viewing silent films with live music in a theater setting. I saw several programs at the old Silent Movie Theater in Hollywood, including a batch of silent Laurel and Hardy shorts. They weren’t even the duo’s best efforts; some of their lesser films, actually. Yet, with a live audience laughing, live music, and the vintage theater setting, it turned the experience into a bright, shared social event that just popped with entertainment and enthusiasm.
