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

The main feature is a 35 mm print of Orchids and Ermine (1927), directed by Alfred Santell and starring Colleen Moore, Jack Mulhall, Sam Hardy, Gwen Lee and Mickey Rooney. Print courtesy of the BFI.

Set in New York City, flapper Pink Watson (Colleen Moore) works as a telephone operator at a cement factory. She dreams of marrying rich but her constant daydreaming of wealth annoys her fellow workers, and ruins the heart of one of her worshipping colleagues….

A programme of silent shorts precedes the main film.
