We're adding another feature film to the festival lineup and we're adding some Can-Con to the mix.

Toronto Theatre Organ Society closing night will now be a double feature! Getting Mary Married & The Doll. It's all about the dilemmas of marriage on closing night-who knew it could get that complicated?

Marion Davies in Getting Mary Married 1919 65min
Marion Davies has an early star turn as Mary, a young gal who doesn’t want to get married but wants to get married. Confused? Don’t be—there are valid reasons. But it’s getting tough for her to stay single when handsome Norman Kerry comes-a-calling. Directed by Toronto born Allan Dwan, this is the earliest complete Davies feature currently known.

Toronto Theatre Organ Society & Toronto Silent Film Festival is proud to present the Canadian debut of the restoration which has been generously provided by Edward Lorusso.
Bill O'Meara will accompany both on the beautiful vintage organ.

There will be an intermission between feature films.

Two feature films-1 low price $17 in advance, $20 at the door
