Franklin Village buzzes with layered stories of offbeat spirituality, culture, the music industry, the movies, architecture, and true crime, all intertwined in a uniquely Hollywood tale. This immersive walking tour traces these threads through the lives of colorful figures and through moments of faith, folly, fantasy, and heartbreak that have shaped this beautiful and historic pocket of Los Angeles.

A program of classic silent horror unfolds with live piano performed by Cliff Retallick. The Man Who Laughs from 1928 centers on a man marked by a permanent smile, with Conrad Veidt praised for a portrayal that resonates even behind that fixed expression. Reviewers point to a tender connection with the blind Dea that steers clear of excess sentiment, and to Olga Baclanova’s Duchess for heightening the stakes. They also note opulent sets, expressionist shadows and camerawork, and an overall brooding tone. The film’s lasting cultural impact is frequently cited, including its link to the inspiration for Batman’s Joker, and it comes recommended as an engaging, worthwhile experience. Nosferatu from 1922 is described as a foundation of screen horror that still unsettles audiences long after its debut. Max Schreck’s turn as Count Orlok and the film’s eerie Gothic mood draw widespread acclaim. Responses vary on pacing and the demands of silent-era storytelling, and some call out differences from Dracula along with occasional rough edges in the cinematography. Together these two features offer a window into the roots of cinematic terror, with the live accompaniment bringing their images into sharp relief.
