100th Birthday Event – The Hunchback of Notre Dame

This free experience will include the silent film with piano accompaniment by Jeff Rapsis. We’ll also be celebrating our centennial in the lobby after the film, with free cake, champagne and popcorn! Come for the film. Come for the party. Or come for both!

The 1923 version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame features Lon Chaney, Patsy Ruth Miller, and Norman Kelly. The American drama was the seventh film adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel at the time of its release.The story is set in Paris in 1482, and features Quasimodo,  a deaf, half-blind bell-ringer of the famous Cathedral of Notre Dame . His master is a man named Jehan, the evil brother of Notre Dame’s saintly archdeacon Dom Claude. One night, Jehan prevails upon Quasimodo to kidnap the fair Esmeralda, a dancing Roma girl (and the adopted daughter of Clopin, the king of the oppressed beggars of Paris’ underworld).

Come see the Romance, Rescue and Drama on our silver screen!
