The Kennington Bioscope is a regular cinema event featuring live accompaniment to silent films that takes place at the Cinema Museum.

A double bill of extremely rare films starring two of silent cinema’s greatest stars:

The Primrose Path (1925) stars Clara Bow as a cabaret dancer in love with an alcoholic playboy, and features illegal gambling,organised crime, diamond smuggling, and plenty of melodrama. Not considered one of her greatest films, but anything with Clara Bow in is always worth watching.

Devil’s Island (1926) featuring the great Pauline Frederick (last seen at the Bioscope in Smouldering Fires) as the fiancee and then wife of a Parisian surgeon sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil’s Island. More melodrama in a film so rare that no-one at the Bioscope has ever seen it! This could be your only chance…
