John Lauter
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920)
John Barrymore gives us a tour de force performance in the title roles of this 1920 classic horror story of split personality. The story line is based on both the Robert Louis Stevenson novella and the 1887 stage version by Thomas Russell Sullivan. John Lauter accompanies the film with his own exacting score and shows us once again why the Mighty Wurlitzer gained such worldwide popularity "back in the day" as the voice of the silent film.
Film notes will be provided to all patrons at the screening courtesy of The Toronto Silent Film Festival.

Dave Wickerham
Dave's bright holiday concerts are as much a Casa Loma Christmas tradition as the festive tree in the bay window of the Great Hall. His refreshing interpretations of those wonderful holiday tunes we all know and love are the delightful result of his classical organ training and his love for the theatre organ. Presently the organ curator and organist-in-residence at the Milhous Collection in Boca Raton, Dave maintains a busy concert schedule that takes him as far afield as Australia and New Zealand.

Clark Wilson
The Italian Straw Hat (1928)
This 1928 French farce Un Chapeau de Paille d'Italie became Rene Clair's first big artistic success as a director, and was based on the eponymous 1851 stage comedy by Eugene Labiche and Marc Michel. Our old friend Clark Wilson, internationally recogized as both a fine organ technician and brilliant silent film accompanist, returns to provide just the right musical background for this hilarious film.
Tonight’s event is part of the Toronto Silent Film Festival.
