On Wednesday, March 13, at 8 PM EDT, I'll provide live, improvised 
keyboard accompaniment to the 1925 silent film, _The Lost World_. This 
movie, based on Conan Doyle's novel of the same title (and including a 
brief appearance by him to introduce the film), was a breakthrough in 
special effects, using Willis O'Brien's stop-motion animation techniques 
to put dinosaurs on the screen.

In the tradition of old movies, there will be a cartoon short before the 
main feature. The short is _Gertie the Dinosaur_, one of the first 
animated films to hit the theaters. It's presented in a live-action 
frame that purports to explain how Winsor McCay made the cartoon on a bet.

This is my third movie in a monthly series on Twitch.
