Join the Silent Clowns Film Series this Saturday, May 9 at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre for a delightful romp with Reginald Denny. “Skinner’s Dress Suit” is a late ‘20s silent comedy with a wonderful cast. Denny was a comedy star on the 1920s, playing an all American Everyman. His English accent prevented him from carrying that on into sound.
