The Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center invites you for a screening of the silent film The Last Laugh, featuring a lecture from Wenatchee Valley College Professor Hart Johnson and live music on the Wurlitzer pipe organ by Thomas Kozina on Friday, April 25, 6-8 PM.
Originally produced in 1924, this chamber-drama centers around a nameless hotel doorman, who is fired after he’s deemed too “old and unfit” to promote the hotel’s image, resulting in a rapid downward spiral. Chamber-dramas are short plays that focus on the psychology of lower- to middle-class characters, avoiding the use of title cards in between scenes in order to have the visual storytelling speak for itself.
