Hippodrome Festival of Silent Cinema

Posted on December 1, 2016

The Hippodrome Festival of Silent Cinema will take place on Thursday 8^th December, from 1pm at The Barony Theatre, Borrowstoun Road, Bo’ness , EH51 9RS.

The festival will feature a viewing each of 2 famous comedy silent films, alongside silent film pianist Mike Nolan.

In Tubby’s Rest Cure (1916), a recuperating husband and unlikely ladies’ man is caught having too much innocent fun with a bevy of land girls. A Pair of Tights (1929) features the “female answer to Laurel and Hardy” in a slapstick chaos of a cheap date to an ice cream parlour.

The event is free and suitable for all ages, but booking is essential.

To book your place, contact Emma Mortimore by phone: 07931 584307, or email: emmamhippfest@gmail.com
