From PEMBERVILLE OPERA HOUSE
“The Kid Brother” starring Harold Lloyd will be the feature attraction at the Live! In The House Concert Series’ annual silent movie night in the Pemberville Opera House, Saturday Jan. 7 at 7:30 p.m.
Pianist Lynne Long will provide the musical score.
Silent-comedy legend Harold Lloyd goes west in this irresistible blend of action, romance, and slapstick invention. The bespectacled everyman is at his inimitable best as Harold Hickory, the gentle son of a prominent lawman who lives in the shadow of his rough-and-tumble brothers. When a traveling medicine show rolls into town, it brings with it excitement, the possibility of love, and a chance for Harold to prove his mettle.
Deftly balancing Lloyd’s brilliant sight gags and thrilling set pieces—including an epic, knock-down, drag-out fight aboard an abandoned ship—with one of the actor-filmmaker’s most fully realized, root-for-the-underdog narratives, “The Kid Brother” is a hilarious and heartwarming high-water mark of early screen comedy.
Lynne Long, a cum laude graduate of BGSU in piano performance, has maintained a private piano studio in her home for more than fifty years. She holds a Permanent Professional Certificate the Ohio Music Teachers’ Association. Long performs and accompanies on a regular basis at a variety of functions in the Northwest Ohio area and accompanies silent movies in four different venues. She has recorded two CD’s of sacred music.
