Tomorrow night's screening of the film isn't the first time the Silent Film Society of Chicago has featured it in a program. What makes this screening stand out is the score being performed by Jay Warren (the photoplay nom de guerre of SFSC President Dennis Wolkowicz) and theremin accompaniment from Professor J. Pierce.
