Liberty Hall Celebrates Centennial Anniversary
To commemorate 100 years of movies, Liberty Hall will reprise its role as an opera house with a special screening of "Phantom of the Opera" featuring live piano accompaniment.
The building originally opened as a movie theater in the 1924-1925 season, but its history dates back to 1882 when it was renovated as the Bowersock Opera House.
- The opera house burned down in an electrical fire in 1911.
- Liberty Hall launched a new series earlier this year to mark the centennial, screening a different 1925 silent movie each month.
- October's selection is "Phantom of the Opera" (1925), directed by Rupert Julian and starring Lon Chaney and Mary Philbin.
