    Presents The Silent Classic "IT"
    Starring Clara Bow

    Accompaniment provided by Jack Jenkins (organ)

    Revisit the golden age of Hollywood. Experience what movie goers saw at the Granite City Washington Theatre in 1927 accompanied on a Three Manual 18 Rank Barton Theatre Organ built in Chicago, Illinois. A silent film has not been shown in Granite since 1930 when the Washington was outfitted with the newest technology, "Talking Pictures".
    Jack Jenkins has historically recreated the accompaniment and will present it on a digital Instrument.

    Donations are accepted following the movie to support the Granite City Arts Council.
