Opera Orchestra in his own accompaniment to the film. It was a great occasion and an unforgettable experience - the film was extraordinary and the music was...well...Napoleonic! (:-)) Quite often, the Castro Theatre here shows silent movies with live organ accompaniment by Robert Vaughn (not the Man from U.N.C.L.E. :-)) and they're always sold out. -- rod williams | pacific bell | san francisco ----------------------------------------------------------------------- {ihnp4,ucbvax,cbosgd,decwrl,amd70,fortune,zehntel}!dual!ptsfa!ptsfc!rjw
