ORGANIST Jenny Nagano Accompanies BUSTER KEATON’s
Silent Film “College” (1927)
MAY 3 Fri at 8:30pm
Back for a repeat treat—Jerry is one
of the Bay area’s premier organists
when accompanying the enduringly
hilarious classic silent films.
Jerry has given organ concerts
throughout the country and has
been resident organist at the
Stanford Theater in Palo Alto for
many years performing on their
Mighty Wurlitzer organ.
Buster Keaton’s “College” is a
comedy-drama about college
students and their misadventures,
with a classic love story and
plenty of amazing stunts,
performed by the great comic
actor with the trademark
deadpan expression.
