Avalon 95th Anniversary Celebration: Safety Last

Come celebrate the Historic Avalon Theatre’s 95th Anniversary with appetizers and a movie. Safety Last! is a 1923 American silent romantic comedy film starring Harold Lloyd. It includes one of the most famous
images from the silent film era: Lloyd clutching the hands of a large clock as he dangles from the outside of a skyscraper above moving traffic. The film was highly successful and critically hailed, and it cemented Lloyd's status as
a major figure in early motion pictures. It is still popular at revivals, and it is viewed today as one of the great film comedies.
All proceeds from the event will be donated to support the Avalon Theatre Foundation. Learn more about their mission at www.avalontheatrefoundation.org
