Silent movie pianist Richard Hughes takes your audience on a trip into our colorful past when Nickelodeon theatres showed black & white flickers to the accompaniment of live piano. Richard re-creates the atmosphere by playing ragtime, novelty and Tin Pan Alley tunes plus authentic 'Mood Music' before showing the films. Then he talks about the 'Golden age of silent movies' plus an introduction for each film before playing an original musical score.
