Item Description
Four tickets to 2 silent film classics by the brilliant Buster Keaton on November 11th, 2015.
The General (1926) is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time, although it did poorly on its release and failed to return a large profit, resulting in Keaton losing his independence as a movie maker.
Sherlock, Jr (1924) is about a movie theater projectionist -- what could be more appropriate? November 11 (doors open at 6:30).
The evening will include live organ music by Bob Thompson, organist at the First Presbyterian Church in Corvallis.
When built in 1922, the Whiteside Theatre was the second grandest movie palace in Oregon at that time. The building is an excellent example of Italian Renaissance architecture applied to a theatre. It is probably Corvallis' best historic commercial building in terms of original design and integrity. The upper story of the exterior of the building retains its original ornamented effect, executed in brick, glass, cast "stone" and plaster. The original layout of the theatre is intact and numerous interior decorative features remain from the 192O's period.
