The Town Hall Theatre in Wilton opens its 2026 silent film series with a newly restored screening of Annie Laurie (1927), a rarely seen MGM epic starring silent-era star Lillian Gish. The film will be shown Sunday, Feb. 1 at 2 p.m. at the Town Hall Theatre, 40 Main St. A major MGM release in 1927, Annie Laurie has not been publicly available since its original run. Kerry was a popular leading man known for swashbuckling and romantic roles and was at the peak of his career when Annie Laurie was made. Annie Laurie is the first film in the Town Hall Theatre’s 2026 silent film series, which presents a classic silent-era motion picture each month with live music.
