Enjoy a hand-cranked “moving picture show” with live piano music, just like the itinerant shows popular during the era of silent cinema, here on the grass at Two-Strike Park in La Crescenta, Saturday, July 28.

Take your family or treat your date to “dinner and a show” for an evening of silent cinema comedies with live piano accompaniment. Bring a blanket and a picnic basket. You supply the picnic basket, we provide the entertainment.

Join the Damfinos in Los Angeles

To celebrate the dedication of a new plaque honoring the former location of the Buster Keaton Studios in Hollywood, The International Buster Keaton Society (AKA the “Damfinos”) invites you to join us for a weekend of Buster Keaton-related activities in Los Angeles.

This will be the first time in the 24-year history of the Damfinos that we are organizing events in the town that Buster called home for so many decades, and we are looking forward to seeing you there!
