Silent film actor Theodore Roberts stars as Moses in Cecil B. DeMille's original 'The Ten Commandments' (1923), a Biblical blockbuster to be shown with live music. COURTESY.

Cecil B. DeMille’s original silent epic “The Ten Commandments” (1923) will be screened with live music on Easter Sunday, April 5, at 2 p.m. at the Town Hall Theatre, 40 Main St., Wilton.

The film will be accompanied by Jeff Rapsis, a New Hampshire–based silent film accompanist who performs at screenings nationwide.

The program is free and open to the public, with a suggested donation of $10 per person to support the theater’s silent film programming.

DeMille’s early Biblical spectacle was a major hit in its original release and later inspired his 1956 remake. The film opens with the story of Moses and the Exodus before shifting to a modern-day drama about two brothers who make opposite choices about living by the Ten Commandments.
