CHICAGO: Buster Keaton, Laurel & Hardy 4/14

[Silas]

The glorious Music Box theater in Chicago is featuring silent shorts with live organ on Saturday, April 14 at noon:

How (Not) to Build a House

"We’re screening the most outrageous architecture in silent cinema! Buster Keaton and his new bride have one week to assemble their home from a DIY kit before their housewarming party in ONE WEEK (1920). In THE FINISHING TOUCH (1928), Laurel & Hardy are contracted to build a house in one day, while LIBERTY (1929) sees the duo outrunning the police, straight to the top of a construction site! (Various directors, 1920-9, ca. 80m)"
