Remember a time when the talkies hadn’t hit the big screen yet?  TMA’s series, The Sound of Silents, features a screening of actor Harold Lloyd’s iconic 1923 film Safety Last. This silent comedy follows a man trying to make it in the big city, and Lloyd’s climbing stunts reached new heights of filmmaking at its debut, making this an exciting movie even without sound. A live musical score by Detroit organist Lance Luce, on the Peristyle’s historic Skinner organ, will accompany the film. 7-8:30pm Thursday, July 16.
