Sadly, this will be the final meeting of the Early To Bed Tent as the organizers John and Janet Duff are planning on moving from the area. So let’s send them off with a BANG (and lots of other sound effects)!

Early to Bed TentThe final meeting of the year, and FOREVER, for the Early To Bed Tent (Oasis #239) will take place on Saturday evening, December 10th.

This special gathering is our 14th and last annual “Silent Night” presenting rarely seen silent short comedies.  For obvious reasons Laurel & Hardy will dominate the evening’s film program but there will be other silent comedians represented as well.

The show will take place at the Early To Bed tent of the Laurel & Hardy fan club “Sons Of The Desert”  in Temple City, California.

Joe Rinaudo will be projecting these memorable films on his classic hand-crank 1909 Powers Model 6 Cameragraph.

The great Dean Mora will be providing musical accompaniment to the silent movies.

Location:
Westminster Presbyterian Church
9642 East Live Oak Avenue
Temple City, California

Time:
Doors open at 5:15 PM for socializing
Show begins at 6:00 PM, ends around 10:00 PM
There will be snacks and drinks available for purchase.

99 Laurel & Hardy

This poster, honoring the greatest comedy duo of all time, was created by designer and typographer Chaz DeSimone, who also creates the titles for Joe Rinaudo’s film restorations. (He also designed the Silent Cinema Society logo and website.) Chaz takes great pleasure and honor in designing for Joe, his best friend of over 50 years. He made sure this poster was extra-special, to the extent of consulting Joe about the exact hats Stan and Ollie wore.
