Silent Movie: Girl Shy with 2 Star Symphony

Saturday, Mar. 22; 7 – 8:30 pm

Houston ensemble Two Star Symphony returns to the park with a performance of their original score to the silent film Girl Shy, a classic romantic comedy directed by Harold Lloyd. The Poor Boy (Harold Lloyd) is a bashful tailor’s apprentice who longs to be a published author. Heading for the city to sell his romantic anthology, he encounters the Rich Girl (Jobyna Ralston) on a train, and he helps her hide her dog from the conductor. Excited about a budding romance, the Poor Boy goes off to a publisher and gets rejected. Disheartened, he gives up on the Rich Girl. However, when the publisher changes his mind, the Poor Boy tries to rekindle the spark of romance. (1924) 1h 27 min
