The exhibit, titled “Gems of the Silent Screen,” opens to the public on March 15, 2008, with an opening night gala reception from 5 to 7 p.m.
Almost 40 one-of-a-kind and rarely seen silent movie posters from 1915-1930 will be on display.

Hart in Truthful Tulliver.
“We are delighted that our gallery was chosen to display the ‘Gems of the Silent Screen’ exhibit,” says owner and silent movie buff Jim Episale. “While major museums have displayed silent movie posters, gallery showings are quite unique. We have been fortunate to house a number of diverse poster exhibits. We are pleased to add this exhibit to our repertoire.”
