Besant Lodge Community Programs
• Friday, November 6th: Silent Movies with Live Piano Accompaniment. Double Feature (sans-creature) and they are short enough to have both in the same event!
“Flying Elephants (1927), Laurel and Hardy in “before Fred and Wilma Flintstone”, there were Laurel & Hardy! In “Flying Elephants” (1928), Stan and Ollie head all the way back to the Stone Age, where romance, rivalry, and prehistoric foolishness are apparently nothing new. It’s Laurel & Hardy as cavemen — with clubs, bearskins, and several million years of bad ideas.
Also: “The Lost World” (1925)
Dinosaurs! Daring explorers! A world forgotten by time!
Before King Kong and Jurassic Park, there was The Lost World — the spectacular adventure that astonished audiences with dinosaurs brought to life through groundbreaking stop-motion animation. Join an intrepid band of explorers as they journey to a mysterious plateau where prehistoric creatures still roam — and things don’t go according to plan. (Of course not!)
