About the Film

This 1925 masterpiece showcases Keaton’s unparalleled physical comedy and innovative filmmaking.

The Kew Bridge Kinema at The Musical Museum

The Kew Bridge Kinema at The Musical Museum offers a singular cinematic experience as the only repertory series in the United Kingdom to feature live Wurlitzer organ accompaniment for silent film classics.

A Century of Cinematic Tradition In January 1925, the first Wurlitzer organ was introduced to British cinema. Originally engineered specifically to accompany moving pictures, these sophisticated instruments defined the early movie-going experience. Today, a century after their debut, The Musical Museum recreates the atmosphere of cinema’s Golden Age, allowing contemporary audiences to experience the evocative power of the "halcyon days" of film.
