Liberty Hall Celebrates Centennial Anniversary
To celebrate 100 years of movies at Liberty Hall, a special screening of "Phantom of the Opera" with live piano accompaniment will be held, reviving the building's history as an opera house.
Liberty Hall first opened as a movie theater in the 1924-1925 season, and this year, a new series was launched to mark the centennial, featuring a different 1925 silent movie each month.
The October selection is "Phantom of the Opera" (1925), directed by Rupert Julian and starring Lon Chaney and Mary Philbin. The screening will be accompanied by live piano music, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the black-and-white horror film.
Liberty Hall was originally the Bowersock Opera House, which was renovated in 1882 and later burned down in an electrical fire in 1911, according to the Spencer Research Library.
