โ€œGirl Shyโ€ stars Lloyd as a timid young man from a small town whose book about imaginary romantic conquests collides with reality when he falls in love and must stop his beloved from marrying the wrong man. The filmโ€™s climactic race to the altar is considered one of the great chase sequences of the silent era.

Live music will be performed by silent film accompanist Jeff Rapsis.

The screening will be held at 40 Main St. For information, call (603) 654-3456.
