Award-show season may spotlight new releases, but Old Town Music Hall is turning the calendar back a century. The El Segundo venue just posted its film roster through March, offering weekends packed with time-traveling cinema and live organ music.
What’s Playing
The slate mixes silent-era thrillers with 1980s favorites. Barbara Stanwyck headlines Stella Dallas, while slapstick fans can catch Safety Last-yes, the one with the famous clock tower scene.
Later bookings include:
- Broadcast News
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- Multiple Golden Age gems
Guest Appearances & Atmosphere
Samantha Hale, great-granddaughter of actor Alan Hale, introduces Stella Dallas on the final Saturday of March. Earlier, on March 1, Suzanne Lloyd-granddaughter of silent-film legend Harold Lloyd-will present Safety Last.
Even screenings without guests feel special. A resident organist performs on the venue’s Wurlitzer before each show, and the auditorium evokes classic movie palaces.
| Date | Film | Guest |
|---|---|---|
| March 1 | Safety Last | Suzanne Lloyd |
| March 28 | Stella Dallas | Samantha Hale |
