Friday Night “Silent” Film with Pianist Richard Hughes: Our Hospitality (1923)
The Framingham Public Library is bringing back silent movie pianist Richard Hughes to accompany a slap-stick comedy favorite, Buster Keaton, who stars in an action filled, slightly romantic, hilariously comical 1923 film called “Our Hospitality.” As usual, his sight gags and chase scenes are over the top.
