Second of Silents with Kaylee Mansfield: THE SHEIK

Tallgrass is excited to introduce our newest film series at the Emily Bonavia Tallgrass Film Center, Second of Silents! Hosted by local silent film enthusiast Kaylee Mansfield, this series will be featured on the second Sunday of every month and celebrate the actors, actresses, directors, and producers of the silent era.

Then... grab your popcorn and enjoy the film! We hope to see you there as we bring the silent legends to the Wichita community.
