Funny Business: Silent Comedies and Cartoons

May 14, 2013

Grand Illusion Cinema
Seattle, WA

Classic two-reeler comedies starring Laurel & Hardy, Billy Bevan, and Our Gang in their second comedy ever released.

Plus silent cartoons featuring Disney’s Alice in Cartoonland, Koko the Clown, and Felix the Cat.

This ducky flicker show of 1920s silent comedies and cartoons is the bee's knees. Suitable for all ages: whippersnappers, flappers, and even Mrs. Grundy will find it a real sockdollager!

With high-larious hooey starring Laurel and Hardy (Liberty, 1929), Our Gang (Fire Fighters, 1922) and Billy Bevan (Super-Hooper-Dyne Lizzies, 1925), plus Felix the Cat, Koko the Clown, and Disney's original Alice — tonight's hot sketch is better than a jorum of skee.

If you know your onions, move your stilts and throw a little voot, because this is no trip for biscuits!
