FARMINGTON – Doug Protsik will perform a live piano score to the classic silent movie “The Kid Brother” (1927) on Sunday, March 25, as part of his silent movie series at the University of Maine at Farmington.

Now in its fifth year, the series is sponsored by the Arts Institute of Western Maine. The movie will be shown in the Lincoln Auditorium, Roberts Learning Center, at 7 p.m.

“The Kid Brother” is considered by many to be Harold Lloyd’s masterpiece. In this western, meek country boy Harold Hickory (Lloyd) is smitten by Mary Powers (Jobyna Ralston), who is traveling with her late father’s medicine show. When the show burns down, Harold invites her to stay at his house with his father and brothers. When the town’s money is stolen by thugs from the medicine show, Harold’s father is accused, and with encouragement from Mary, Harold sets out to find the real crooks. Lloyd showcases his famous athletic agility in the complex and satisfying final showdown with the bad guys.

Directed by Ted Wilde, the film runs 82 minutes. Admission is $5; $3 for children.
