East Building Concourse, Large Auditorium
Premiere of new organ score by Dennis James
English comedic actor Reginald Denny resettled in Hollywood when he was twenty-eight and immediately became a beloved star of many now-forgotten American comedies. In I’ll Show You the Town a poor young professor (Denny) is interrupted from his work on a book and becomes caught in a web of scandal and disgrace. Extricating himself with some fast-talking and high-stepping, in the end he finds his true love. Declared one reviewer in 1925, “There are situations here that defy anyone to keep a straight face.” (Harry A. Pollard, 1925, 35mm, 102 minutes) Dennis James live on theater organ. Print from the Stanford Theatre Foundation Collection at UCLA Film Archive.
