Flesh and the Devil (1927)

The Second Saturday Silent Series pairs a classic silent film with a live score played by Bill Rowland on Circle’s restored 1928 theater pipe organ. Tickets just $8 adults, $5 kids, with support from the American Theatre Organ Society Sooner State Chapter and Arts Alliance Tulsa.

This month, see a 1927 romantic drama starring Greta Garbo. Lifelong school chums Leo (John Gilbert) and Ulrich (Lars Hanson) are soldiers in the German army. Leo falls in love with Countess Felicitas (Greta Garbo) and courts her, which enrages her husband (Marc McDermott). When Leo fights a duel with and kills the Count, he is deployed to Africa for five years as punishment. Leo returns to find that Ulrich has fallen for Felicitas, but she resumes her amorous pursuit of Leo, thus pushing the limits of their friendship.
