7TH ANNUAL "MUSIC BOX" STEPS
Dir: Hal Roach, 1932, USA, Comedy Short Subject, 30 min.

This family event celebrates Silver Lake's cinematic legacy by commemorating the location of Laurel & Hardy's 1932 Oscar-winning short, THE MUSIC BOX. The film is screened at the site where the comedic duo attempted to hoist a piano to the top of a steep outdoor staircase.
The Laurel & Hardy Moving Co. have a challenging job on their hands (and backs): hauling a player piano up a monumental flight of stairs to Prof. von Schwarzenhoffen's house. Their task is complicated by a sassy nursemaid and, unbeknownst to them, the impatient Prof. von Schwarzenhoffen himself. But the biggest problem is the force of gravity, which repeatedly pulls the piano back down to the bottom of the stairs. Finally, the irate Professor explodes in fury to discover the "mechanical blunderbuss" in his home, not knowing it was a surprise birthday present from his wife.
