The Town Hall Theatre will host a 100th anniversary screening of the 1926 silent film “The Johnstown Flood” on Sunday, July 19 at 2 p.m. at 40 Main St. in Wilton.
The event is free and open to the public, with a suggested donation of $10 per person to support the theater’s silent film programming.
Directed by Irving Cummings, the film dramatizes the 1889 Pennsylvania flood and features the first screen appearance of Janet Gaynor alongside co-star George O’Brien.
New Hampshire-based accompanist Jeff Rapsis will provide live, improvised musical accompaniment during the screening using a digital synthesizer.
“Live music was an integral part of the silent film experience,” Rapsis said.
