One of the greatest silent comedies ever made is brought to life by Ben Model's live piano accompaniment. When Northern spies steal Buster Keaton's locomotive, he single-handedly takes on the entire Union army.

For the past 25 years Ben Model has been the silent film accompanist for The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. He has recorded numerous scores for silent film DVDs and he co-produces The Silent Clowns Film Series with film historian Bruce Lawton. Mr. Model's appearance is co-sponsored by Piano By Nature.
