Since 1980 organist Clark Wilson has been one of the most prominent and recognized scorers of silent photoplays in America. A skilled arranger, he develops accurate and historic musical accompaniments as they were performed in major picture palaces such as Cincinnati’s Albee Theater, the original home of Music Hall’s Mighty Wurlitzer. Laurel and Hardy were a British-American comedy duo during the early Classical Hollywood of American cinema, consisting of Englishman Stan Laurel (1890–1965) and American Oliver Hardy (1892–1957). Starting their career as a duo in the silent film era, they later successfully transitioned to “talkies”. From the late 1920s to the mid-1950s, they were internationally famous for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy, childlike friend to Hardy's pompous bully. The season sponsor for the Mighty Wurlitzer concerts is Bahl & Gaynor Investment Counsel.  About the Friends of Music Hall The Friends of Music Hall is a nonprofit volunteer-driven membership organization with a mission to preserve, improve, promote, and provide education about Music Hall.
