SPECIAL EVENT TICKETS $15. Shown in the Eppes Auditorium on our GIANT screen.

Oliver Twist is a 1922 American silent drama film adaptation of Charles Dickens’ 1838 novel Oliver Twist, featuring Lon Chaney as Fagin and Jackie Coogan as Oliver Twist. The film was directed by Frank Lloyd. It was selected as one of the best pictures of 1922 by New York Times, Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times. Walter J. Israel handled the costuming. Studio interiors were filmed at the Robert Brunton Studios in Hollywood. The film’s tagline was “8 Great Reels that make you ask for more. Will Hays says Jackie Coogan Films are the sort the World needs.” A still exists showing Fagin training his wards to be pickpockets.

Jeff Rapsis is a writer/editor, educator, and also a composer and performer who specializes in creating live musical scores for silent film screenings. He does other things, too. Specific talents include an ability to place coins on either elbow and then catch them in the same hand before they hit the floor, though sometimes he misses and the coins go flying just everywhere. He’s also an award-winning journalist, newspaper publisher, and owner of multiple dogs.

There will also be a 10 minute showing of the 1910 Early Edison version of A Christmas Carol before Oliver Twist. A Christmas Carol is a 1910 silent drama film directed by J. Searle Dawley and produced at Edison Studios in The Bronx in New York City. After the 1901 British release Scrooge, or, Marley’s Ghost, this American version of Charles Dickens’ 1843 novella is the second oldest surviving screen adaptation of the famous literary work. It features Marc McDermott as Ebenezer Scrooge and Charles S. Ogle as Bob Cratchit.
