The Sheik (1923) for Silent Movie Day

Special presentation for National Silent Movie Day! See 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.

In this adventure film, the dashing Rudolph Valentino stars as an Arabian sheik who becomes infatuated with an adventurous, modern-thinking Englishwoman and abducts her to his home in the Saharan desert.

Silent Movie Day is an annual celebration of silent movies that anyone can take part in. We believe that silent film is a vital, beautiful, and often overlooked part of film history. Our goal is to advocate for its presentation and preservation. This day provides an opportunity for academics, aficionados, programmers, archivists and enthusiasts to gather around their shared appreciation of this unique period in visual arts and culture. It is also a time to rally around silent film initiatives for preservation and access, as well as raise awareness of the small percentage of film that remains from this period of the motion picture industry.
