‘The Mark of Zorro’ screening to feature live accompaniment

GREENFIELD — “The Mark of Zorro” (1920) will be screened on Monday, Dec. 2, at 6:30 p.m. at the Garden Cinemas featuring live accompaniment by Jeff Rapsis, a New Hampshire-based composer who specializes in creating music for silent films.

“The Mark of Zorro,” starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr., tells the story of young Don Diego de la Vega, the son of a wealthy ranch owner in California in the early 19th century. Witnessing the mistreatment of the poor by rich landowners and the oppressive colonial government, he assumes the identity of Zorro, a masked figure of great cunning and skill, and vows to bring justice to the region.

Admission is $10.50 adults and $8.50 for children, seniors and students.
