Performance Notes | Experience classic silent films with world class live music accompaniment in the Royal Albert Halls intimate Elgar Room.
The Elgar Rooms silent films live music series continues with a special screening of the Louise Brooks classic Beggars of Life with live music accompaniment from The Dodge Brothers.
Their motto, death and trains a speciality, has never been more appropriate than to William Wellmans legendary 1928 film Beggars of Life, a tale of depression-era, rail-riding hobos played by the iconic Louise Brooks, Richard Arlen and the great Wallace Beery. |
