Three's a Crowd

Renowned silent film musician Jeff Rapsis makes his Cleveland debut tonight at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, where he'll play along to a screening of the 1927 film Three's a Crowd, a film that features silent film star Harry Langdon. He portrays a man who takes in a poor pregnant woman one snowy night. The Laurel and Hardy Christmas caper "Big Business," a short film about door-to-door Christmas tree salesmen, precedes the screening of Three's a Crowd and will also feature accompaniment by Rapsis. The program starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $12. (Niesel)
