The 2016 Silent Film Series will kick off with the Buster Keaton Classic, Spite Marriage.  An unimpressive but well intending man is given the chance to marry a popular actress, of whom he has been a hopeless fan.  What he doesn’t realize is that he is being used to make the actress’s old flame jealous.  Keaton’s boundless with and dexterity are allowed to run free in this classic comedy.

The Big Parade is the gem of the National Film Registry and the top grossing silent film of all time.  The idle son of a rich businessman joins the army when the USA enters World War I.  He is sent to France, where he becomes friends with two working-class soldiers and falls in love with a French woman.

The Halloween season kicks off with the horror classic Nosferatu.  This classic take on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, almost destroyed due to a copyright dispute, is the first in the genre of vampire films and became recognized as an influential masterpiece of cinema.  Vampire Count Orlok expresses interest in a new resident and real estate agent Hutter’s wife.

The 2016 series concludes with a holiday double feature with the Thomas Edison version of A Christmas Carol followed by the Laurel & Hardy film, Big Business.  A Christmas carol sing-along for everyone to enjoy the lush sounds of the W.W. Kimball as we ring in the Holiday Season.

Boardwalk Hall and the Atlantic City Convention Center are owned and funded by the CRDA.
