The Washington County Historical Society is excited to announce a film screening of “Sherlock Jr.” starring comedy great Buster Keaton on Tuesday, August 5 at 7pm at the Washington County Heritage Center at 1862 South Greeley Street, Stillwater, MN 55082.
“Sherlock Jr.” was released in 1924 and considered Buster Keaton’s first great full-length silent comedy. Keaton directs and stars in the film, playing a lovesick movie projectionist who steps through the silver screen into a dream world where he can solve all his problems.
Retired university professor Steve Schroer will introduce the film and will be available for discussion following the showing. Popcorn will be served and a movie ticket giveaway for a free showing at Woodbury 10 will be up for grabs. Limited Star Wars popcorn tins will be available for purchase.
The program is free to the public. No reservations are required. For questions, contact Washington County Heritage Center Site Manager Emily Krawczewski at emily.krawczewski@wchsmn.org or 651-439-2298. The Washington County Heritage Center is open for visitors Tuesday-Saturday from 10am-4pm.
