Program is being presented by Bruce Lawton and yours truly, with yours
truly on piano.
The program: Chaplin's THE ADVENTURER (1917); Keaton's THE PLAY HOUSE
(1921); Snub Pollard in THE COURTSHIP OF MILES SANDWICH (1923); and
L&H in BIG BUSINESS (1929).
The show is part of a weekend of Town History events in Atlantic
Highlands NJ. The town's original movie house, still intact and
showing movies, was opened in 1921 (although, ironically, the
theater's mgmt was not into letting the historical society do this
show there).

Ben, what's the name of the theatre? Is it still a single-screener?

It's the Atlantic Cinema 5, I assume. Which should answer your other
question.
