PETER PAN

The 1924 silent classic featuring Ben Model on the piano!

Saturday, December 30 @ 12 Noon

Regular ticket price (Members $6, Public $9, Senior/Student $7, Children to 12 $4.50)

Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie's play about the titular boy who refused to grow up, has become a stage classic. Long thought lost was this original 1924 live-action masterpiece, a lavish silent fantasy that captures the fairy tale magic of flying children, wicked pirates, and a wondrous storybook land where kids never grow up. Starring Ernest Torrence, Anna May Wong, and Betty Bronson as the eternally adolescent boy. USA, 1924, 104 min., b/w.

About Ben Model: For over two decades Ben Model has served as resident silent film accompanist for The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, has played in many other venues around the Northeastern U.S. Ben composes and improvises all his own scores, and performs in a style that is both evocative of the silent era and also aware of a contemporary (and younger) audience's awareness of music and film scoring. Ben is also a silent film historian, and often introduces the films he accompanies. In the spring of 2006, Ben co-organized MoMA's two-month retrospective of the films of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. He learned the craft and technique of silent film scoring from legendary silent film organist Lee Erwin.
