The Crowd (1928), regarded as one of finest Hollywood films of the silent era, will be screened with live music on Monday, Jan. 19 at 7 p.m. at the Palace Theatre in Manchester, NH. The Crowd, directed by King Vidor, chronicles the fortunes of young couple struggling to survive in 1920s New York. Combining humor and melodrama, The Crowd centers on a tragic turn of events that strains the couple's relationship to the breaking point, forcing them to fight to keep their ever-diminishing dreams alive in a soulless urban society.
