Late night out...
Jen and I went into town this afternoon to catch the show at the local
Mt. Baker Theater. The Theater opened April 29, 1927 and has been more or less in continuous operation since. Gorgeously restored to original design, the acoustics are awesome. It is home to a
Wurlitzer 2/12 organ (two manuals, 12 ranks of pipes -- fairly large).
Today's Show? A screening of Charlie Chaplin's
The Gold Rush accompanied by
Hokum W. Jeebs on the Mighty Wurlitzer. He is an excellent performer, was having a lot of fun and the audience (about a thousand people) was appreciative.
A fun time!
They are doing Buster Keaton's The General next month on the 19th.
Had dinner with my Mom and Dad who are s..l..o..w..l..y.. moving up here from Seattle.
