Silent (Movie) Sunday: Sherlock, Jr. + The Blacksmith

The last Sunday of every month, Kinonik will be showing a silent movie in Congress Square Park on 16mm film!

Join us for the classic Sherlock, Jr., starring Buster Keaton, plus a Keaton short called The Blacksmith.

A kindly movie projectionist (Buster Keaton) longs to be a detective. When his fiancée (Kathryn McGuire) is robbed by a local thief (Ward Crane), the poor projectionist is framed for the crime. Using his amateur detective skills, the projectionist follows the thief to the train station — only to find himself locked in a train car. Disheartened, he returns to his movie theater, where he falls asleep and dreams that he is the great Sherlock Holmes.
