The Vogue Theatre

San Francisco
Thursday, March 26
8:00 pm
Return to a time when movies were shown with vaudeville acts, illustrated songs, hand-colored slides, and lecturers in frock coats. Hear the Master of the Silent Screen Piano, Frederick Hodges, accompany an all-new program of silent films
See Illusionist extraordinaire, Reed Kirk Rahlmann with his notorious contortionist routine, still uncensored but all-new, rivaling Houdini and the Great Sandow for its outrages against the human body.
See the Georges Méliès fantasy masterpiece The Kingdom of Fairies (1903) performed as San Francisco originally saw it – with narration – recreated by the Elite Thespian Ensemble. Thrill to other rarities — a Griffith thriller, trick films, and poignant drama — in glorious color!
See four lost illustrated songs. Hear [and see!] songs accompanied by authentic hand-tinted magic lantern slides and the song stylings by the inimitable Sean Sharp and Lori Leigh Gieleghem. See and hear Greg Tiede render the heart-breaking but inspiring tale of “The Assassination of President McKinley and Electrocution of His Assassin” with authentic hand-colored slides AND — FOR THE FIRST TIME ANYWHERE!!! – authentic motion pictures of the assassin’s demise See you there!
