Stambaugh Auditorium continues its annual tradition of a silent film showing for a 14th year. 

Viewers will be taken on an adventure Sunday afternoon, October 27, at 2:30 p.m. with the silent film choice this year: "The Lost World", accompanied by Jay Spencer on the E.M. Skinner Pipe Organ, Opus 582. 

Tickets are $11, including the service fees. To purchase tickets, you can visit Stambaugh Auditorium's website or call the box office at 330-259-9651. Popcorn and beverages will also be available for purchase at the event.

Accompanist Jay Spencer has been playing the organ at the Canton Palace Theatre since the early 90s, and performing silent films there for 14 years. In addition to performing on the organ, Spencer has also spent a great deal of time volunteering at the Palace Theatre.

Spencer has stated that he, "loves everything about [the theatre]". 

The E.M. Skinner Pipe Organ, Opus 582 is the only remaining Skinner organ in the area. This intense instrument features nearly 4,000 pipes that vary from the smallest, which is about the size and weight of a #2 pencil, to the largest, which is about 30 inches by 32 feet and weighs 750 pounds.

"The Lost World" is a 1925 American silent "creature feature" adapted from the 1912 novel of the same name.

Stambaugh Auditorium gives a synopsis of the film: 

"In search of her lost father who led a lost expedition in South America, Paula White brings her father's journal to Professor Challenger in London. The sketches in the journal lead Challenger to believe that dinosaurs still walk the earth, and prompt him to head a mission to rescue the lost explorer. Once assembled, the group of explorers embark on a journey which lead to dangers beyond any of their imaginations…"
