Silent Laughter

Performed in black and white with title cards projected over the actors' heads, and a live theatre organ accompanying every doubletake, this comic tour de force stars a dashing hero who overcomes jail, poverty, World War I and a dastardly villain, Lionel Drippinwithit, to win the girl of his dreams

She is the heiress to the Thickwad Screw Factory, a firm that has been "Screwing the American Public since 1861"

The biggest pie fight the theatre world has ever seen caps the silent action

More than a tribute to the slapstick antics of Chaplin, Keaton and Arbuckle - this is a reverential recreation of a bygone era
