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.
