Classic silent movie “Speedy” accompanied on organ by Douglas Rust at Saenger Theatre</title><description><![CDATA[<p>Step back in time—and step up to the plate—for a truly historic celebration of America’s 250th birthday! Join us for a live‑organ‑accompanied screening of Speedy (1928), Harold Lloyd’s final silent masterpiece, starring Harold “Speedy” Swift, Ann Christy as Jane and a guest appearance by Babe Ruth himself!</p>

<p>Speedy, a die‑hard Yankee fan, works odd jobs—from soda jerk to cab driver—and famously delivers Babe Ruth to Yankee Stadium in a wild, slapstick-filled ride through ’20s New York. Along the way, he helps save his girlfriend’s grandfather’s last horse‑drawn trolley line from a railroad crackdown—with scenes filmed on location at Coney Island and Yankee Stadium.</p>

<p>This isn’t just a movie: it’s a salute to America’s love of baseball, community and ingenuity. We invite audiences of all generations to dress in red, white and blue—hat tip to the fans in the stands! Hear every joy and gasp via rich organ music, feel the era come alive, and relish the legacy of silent cinema as it meets America’s favorite pastime.</p>

<p>Perfect for families, film buffs, and baseball lovers—this afternoon promises laughter, thrills and a grand slam connection to our nation’s cultural roots.</p>

Premiering bold new symphonic arrangements, this concert reimagines America’s most iconic popular music with unforgettable energy, passion and style. From blues and Motown to R&amp;B, soul, rock, pop and country, the sounds that built our nation’s soundtrack are reborn for full orchestra, singers and more.</p>

<p>Feel the grit and groove of James Brown, Robert Johnson and B.B. King, then ride the rhythms of Stevie Wonder’s timeless soul and Bruno Mars’ unstoppable funk. Relive the sparkle of Motown queens The Supremes and The Pointer Sisters, before the stage explodes into rock anthems like Jump, Hotel California, Don’t Stop Believin’ and Sweet Child O’ Mine. Pop lovers can revel in Jimmy Buffett’s island escape, Lady Gaga’s fierce fire, the nostalgic fun of the Backstreet Boys and the dramatic punch of Evanescence and John Legend. And of course, no American playlist would be complete without country legends—Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton and more.</p>

<p>The Great American Playlist is more than a concert—it’s a joyride through America’s greatest hits, where past, present and future collide on one unforgettable stage. Come celebrate the soundtrack of a nation and experience the ultimate night of music that moves, inspires and unites us all.</p>
