About the event

The Signal Tower
Climb aboard for “The Signal Tower,” a gripping tale of love, loyalty and danger on the rails. Dave Taylor (Rockliffe Fellowes), a hardworking mountain railroad signalman, is devoted to his wife Sally (Virginia Valli) and young son Sonny (Frankie Darro). But when new colleague Joe Standish (Wallace Beery) moves in as a boarder, his barely concealed attraction to Sally threatens to derail their lives. Filmed on breathtaking Northern California locations—complete with an authentic signal tower built just for the movie—this rare screening showcases one of only two 35mm restoration prints from Photoplay Productions, meticulously dye-tinted to match the colors of the few surviving 16mm originals. A stunning slice of silent-era drama you won’t want to miss.

Featuring a special short film, “The Life and Death of 9413: A Hollywood Extra,” with live accompaniment by Nick Zoulek.

Overture's 2025/26 Duck Soup Cinema season invites you into a world where dreams take flight and lives are transformed. From a millionaire’s moral awakening to a boy who never grows up to a family tested by temptation, each silent film blends fantasy, heart and change—brought to life with dazzling restorations and live organ accompaniment.
