TRI-CITIES JAZZ ORCHESTRA PERFORMS LIVE SCORE FOR SILENT FILM—Marion, VA.

The Tri-Cities Jazz Orchestra is returning to the Lincoln Theatre this March to bring audiences back to the Roaring ’20s. Previously, the group performed the Clara Bow flick “It” (1927) back in 2024, and they are back to do another one of her classic films, “My Lady of Whims.” The American silent comedy film “My Lady of Whims,” directed by Dallas M. Fitzgerald and released in 1925, follows Bow as Prudence “Prue” Severn. When two men are hired by Mr. Severn to “rescue” his daughter from the wild and scandalous clutches of Bohemian life, she eludes them in every way possible. Considered a provocative movie for the era, audiences will enjoy the timeless comedy and romance “My Lady of Whims” has to offer and will be even more delighted by the accompanying performance by The Tri-Cities Jazz Orchestra.
