Family Flicks Film Series: The Music Box & Way Out West

  • This is a past program

Ages 6+* 

In the Academy Award-winning short The Music Box, Stan and Ollie (Laurel and Hardy) strive valiantly to deliver a piano to the top of an impossibly long staircase. In Way Out West, Stan and Ollie travel to Brushwood Gulch to deliver a deed to a gold mine, encountering a shady saloon owner and his dance-hall girl­friend along the way. (The Music Box, 1932, Dir. James Parrott, b/w, 29 min.; Way Out West, 1937, Dir. James W. Horne, 35mm, b/w, 65 min.)

*All ages are welcome. Feel free to take a break with infants and toddlers in the theater lobby, where the films are simulcast on a large monitor.
