(Buster Keaton, US 1926, 71 min., 35mm)

In this sweet and funny silent-film classic, extremely non-sporty rich twit Alfred Butler (Buster Keaton) tries to impress the family of the poor mountain girl he loves by claiming he’s championship boxer “Battling” Butler, which naturally leads him to a dangerous bout in the ring. Preceded by Felix the Cat in SURE-LOCKED HOMES (Otto Messmer, US 1928, 7 min., 16mm). Both films will be screened to new music composed by Tom Nazziola and performed by the Eastman School of Music-educated The BQE Project from New York. Tickets: $15, $10 members and students. Advance tickets available at http://dryden.eastmanhouse.org, the admissions desk, Dryden Theatre box office, or (585) 271-3361 ext. 295. No Take-10 tickets or passes.

Advance tickets are no longer available over the phone, or online — they are still available in person at the Museum’s admission desk, or in person before the screening.
