Antique Cars to Be Displayed During the CAPA Summer Movie Series 6/24-25

On Thursday and Friday, June 24 and 25, CAPA will offer a nostalgic return to the late 1920s with a silent film Buster Keaton double feature and a free antique car show.

Beginning at 6 pm each night, the Scioto Model ‘A' Ford Club will display their 1928-31 antique automobiles in front of the Ohio Theatre (39 E. State St.). At 7:30 pm each night, the CAPA Summer Movie Series pairs two Buster Keaton comedies in a silent film double feature accompanied live by Clark Wilson on the Ohio Theatre's historic "Mighty Morton" theatre organ.

Sherlock Jr. (1924)
Film projectionist Keaton wants to be a detective. After proposing to his lady (McGuire), he is incriminated in the theft of her father's watch, and daydreams about solving the crime. Meanwhile, it's girl power that saves the day!

Seven Chances (1925)
Nearly bankrupt financial broker Jimmie Shannon (Keaton) is presented with his grandfather's will which leaves him $7 million if he marries before 7pm on his 27th birthday. The only catch is that his 27th birthday is today!
