Colorado's world-famous Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra provides stunning live accompaniment for our showing of Harold Lloyd's 1927 feature length silent comedy, "The Kid Brother". This charming comedy is one of Harold Lloyd's most beloved films. The most important family in Hickoryville is (naturally enough) the Hickorys, with sheriff Jim and his tough manly sons Leo and Olin. The timid youngest son, Harold, doesn't have the muscles to match up to them, so he has to use his wits to win the respect of his strong father and also the love of beautiful Mary. 35mm print from Sony. "Mont Alto is the finest silent movie musical group around today."--John Sinnott, dvdtalk.com.

Adults $8.50, Seniors $7.50, Capitol members $6.50, children $1.50.
