Rick Benjamin's PARAGON ORCHESTRA
plays the original score to Douglas Fairbanks'
'The Mark of Zorro'
January 30
"Listening to a full band perform the complete scores, written and timed to the action, became a surprising delight...The audience chuckled along, as much to the music as the films." - The Washington Post
The MARK of ZORRO (1920) Together again at last - the swashbuckling silent classic with its original, Spanish-flavored score! Played by Rick Benjamin's Paragon Orchestra.
Old Spanish California is the setting in which Douglas Fairbanks creates the prototype of the modern action-adventure hero, with surprising humor and athleticism, as "Senor Zorro." Slashing his trademark "Z" on the consciousness and sometimes the posteriors of the corrupt administration of Governor Alvarado, Zorro leads the way to "Justice for all!" Rick Benjamin and his Paragon Orchestra reunite the zesty original score with the cinema classic as they have for 20 years with the films of Chaplin, Keaton and Harold Lloyd.
