See silent films paired with new, local music

Baton Rouge Gallery’s popular summer film series, Movies & Music on the Lawn, returns Saturday with a pairing of the 1922 slapstick comedy Grandma’s Boy and never before-heard music from Denton Hatcher and the Soapbox Blues. This is the first of five Movies & Music on the Lawn events. The film will be projected on an inflatable screen on the lawn behind the gallery inside BREC’s historic City Park. The screening begins at sundown (around 8 p.m.), and admission is $5, which includes free bottomless popcorn. Grandma’s Boy stars Harold Lloyd as an overly timid coward who cannot muster the courage to woo his girl and lives in fear of his rival. For more information, read 225‘s story from the May issue.
