Next silent film at Garden Cinemas is ‘The Sheik’

GREENFIELD — Silent film with live music returns to the Garden Cinemas on Monday, March 3, with a screening of “The Sheik” (1921) starring Rudolph Valentino at 6:30 p.m.

The screening will feature live accompaniment by Jeff Rapsis, a New Hampshire-based composer who specializes in creating scores for silent films.

“These films are still exciting experiences if you can show them as they were designed to be screened,” Rapsis said in a statement. “There’s a reason people first fell in love with the movies and we hope to recreate that spirit. At their best, silent films were communal experiences in which the presence of a large audience intensifies everyone’s reactions.”

In “The Sheik,” Valentino plays Paris-educated Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan, who arranges brides for wealthy Arabs. The high-spirited Lady Diana Mayo (Agnes Ayres), learning that the sheik will be in the city of Biskra, Algeria, decides to disguise herself as a dancing girl to become one of the prospective brides. Hearing that Diana will be touring the Sahara Desert, Ahmed abducts her, intending to make her fall in love with him, with unexpected consequences.

Admission is $10.50 adults and $8.50 for children, seniors and students.
