I like to watch this too. But can't go there how can the rest of us see this?

It’s available on the high seas as a blue ray rip, so you don’t have to watch a film screening to see it.

It’s also on YouTube.

1926 should make it public domain? No sailing needed.

It's probably still the fastest/easiest way.

I've been to Somerville theater several times for their silent movie screenings. It's a great experience!
