1928 Model T Fords, top hats, and thousands of people spilling out onto 9th and Pike. It's the opening of Seattle's Paramount Theatre (originally called the Seattle Theatre). Now that rich history is archived in the new, fourth-floor Paramount library.
Each winter and spring, the Paramount Theatre in Seattle hosts a silent movie series on Monday nights. This month’s classic films showcase New York City and it also features one of Buster Keaton’s best works.
But the star attraction isn’t what’s on screen. It’s the instrument making the music.
April 2011 is the 10th anniversary of Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM), presented by the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.
