The Logan Theatre presents

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925)
with Live Accompaniment by Photoplay Organist Jay Warren

Wednesday, February 26th  |   9 pm

On Wednesday, October 23rd, Chicago based silent film organist, Jay Warren, will provide a photoplay score for the early 20th century German Expressionist silent film THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925) at The Logan Theatre.

A forty-year veteran of silent film accompaniment, Warren is passionate about preserving silent film music, a genre in danger of “slipping through the cracks.”

Logan Theatre audiences attending THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA will be treated to an authentic 1920s-style film experience, with Warren bringing in his specially designed digital organ to provide the photoplay accompaniment. The theatre organ, a genuine American phenomena, was the workhorse of the silent film era. Dynamically superior to the piano and more spontaneous than an orchestra, it is truly “the voice of the silent cinema.”
