🎬 A Once-in-a-Century Celebration at the Cranford Theater 🎬

As we celebrate the Cranford Theater’s 100th ANNIVERSARY, we’re honored to present a very special screening of Padlocked—the first film ever shown at the Cranford Theater when our doors opened in 1926.

Thanks to a recent restoration by the San Francisco Film Preserve, audiences will have the rare opportunity to experience this silent film classic exactly 100 years after its original premiere.

📅 Saturday, November 7, 2026

Adding to the magic, acclaimed silent film accompanist Ben Model will perform his original score live on a portable theatre organ, recreating the moviegoing experience audiences would have enjoyed a century ago.

Guests are encouraged to don their finest Roaring Twenties attire as we transport audiences back to 1926—the height of the Jazz Age and the golden era of silent cinema. Together, we’ll celebrate the rich history of the Cranford Theater, the artistry of silent films, and the enduring magic of seeing movies together on the big screen.

This is more than a film screening—it’s a journey back to where our story began and a celebration of 100 years of memories, community, and moviegoing.
