The Silent Movie Theater marks the seventh anniversary of the fatal shooting the theater’s then-proprietor, Laurence Austin, with a screening of F.W. Murnau’s 1928 classic “Sunrise,” which was about to start when Austin was shot to death in the lobby by a killer hired by his estranged companion- projectionist, James Van Sickle. Both the gunman and Van Sickle are serving life sentences.
“Sunrise,” Friday, 8 p.m., Silent Movie Theater, 611 N. Fairfax Ave., (323) 655-2520.
