Welcome to SilentMovieShows.com

Colorful windows into our cinematic past!

        Every time I screen another old silent film and prepare a musical score for it, I feel like a geologist who has just discovered a rare find hidden deep in ancient layers of rock. Many of these films are gems and my mission is to reacquaint, introduce, educate, and entertain audiences of all ages to the silent movie industry of our not-so-distant past. Pantomime acting, in the hands of skilled actors, is so much fun to watch! And let’s not forget the ‘Mood Music’ that adds so much color to these black and white films. So please visit for a few moments to watch some film clips from my Charlie Chaplin DVD release and find out more about my silent movie presentations.
