December 17, 2008 > Peter Pan brings holiday cheer Peter Pan brings holiday cheer Submitted By Michael Bonham The Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum (NESFM) has your Christmas present ready. You can unwrap it Saturday December 20 at 7:30 p.m. and find none other than Peter Pan (1924). Before Mary Martin, Mia Farrow, Cathy Rigby, Robin Williams and all the others there was Betty Bronson in a wonderful adaptation of the James Barrie play with great cinematography by James Wong Howe along with some excellent special effects. Add a special score by pianist Jon Mirsalis and you have a very special evening. Just in case you can't make it that night we will be screening Peter Pan again Sunday December 21 at 2PM in a special show for the whole family with actors reading the title cards while Jon Mirsalis once again performs his special score. Suggested donation for both shows is $5.
