Sherlock Jr. and Seven Chances, Silent Films accompanied by Clark Wilson on the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ at The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory for the Performing Arts

With Clark Wilson on the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ

Sherlock Jr. and Seven Chances are two dazzling comedies that showcase Buster Keaton’s genius for super-sized slapstick.

Sherlock Jr. is a brilliant deconstruction of the filmmaking process. Keaton stars as a movie theatre projectionist who dreams of becoming a super-sleuth, and, in one breathtaking sequence, literally steps into the screen to bring his fantasies to life.

Seven Chances tells the story of an eligible young bachelor who must marry by 7:00 p.m. in order to receive a $7 million inheritance. A newspaper announcement provides him with more fiancées than he can handle, setting in motion the most epic and surreal chase sequence of Keaton’s career.
