The Wurlitzer: Nathan Barr and Mark Herman
20m
Presented here are two rarely seen Harold Lloyd shorts: OVER THE FENCE (1917), the first "Glasses Character" film, and THAT’S HIM (1918). Lloyd lost many of his early films in a fire, and these have been restored from the best existing elements—a 9.5 mm print and a 28 mm print, respectively—and are accompanied by new scores performed by Mark Herman on a historic Wurlitzer theater pipe organ owned by film and television composer Nathan Barr. Also included are a discussion about these early film formats by Dino Everett, archivist at the University of Southern California’s Hugh M. Hefner Moving Image Archive, and a video tour of the Wurlitzer organ lead by Barr and Herman.
