Concordia College's Sluberski Film Series to Present 'Steamboat Bill, Jr.,' with Organ Accompaniment
By Matthew Bolton, PhD, Assistant Professor of English, Concordia College
Feb. 10, 2016: The Sluberski Film Series will present the Buster Keaton silent comedy classic Steamboat Bill, Jr., with organ accompaniment by accomplished organist and film historian Ben Model.
The screening will take place on Saturday, February 20, at 7:00 pm in the Sommer Center for Worship and the Performing Arts on the campus of Concordia College.
Mr. Model is one of the nation's leading silent film accompanists and is the resident film accompanist at the Museum of Modern Art and at the Library of Congress's Packard Campus Theatre.
Discussion and refreshments will follow the film.
Steamboat Bill, Jr., is a landmark in cinema and a masterpiece of silent comedy, showcasing Buster Keaton's immortal acrobatics—impressive to this day—and the implacable deadpan that earned him the title the "Great Stone Face."
Named by film critic Steven Jay Schneider as one of the "1001 movies you must see before you die," don’t miss this opportunity to watch this uproarious tour de force the way it was originally seen: with glorious live organ accompaniment and with an audience rolling in the aisles around you!

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
