Douglas Fairbanks stars as the titular recalcitrant thief who vies with a duplicitous Mongol ruler for the hand of a beautiful princess.

The Thief of Bagdad is now widely considered one of the great silent films and Fairbanks’s greatest work. Fairbanks biographer Jeffrey Vance writes, “An epic romantic fantasy-adventure inspired by several of the Arabian Nights tales, The Thief of Bagdad is the greatest artistic triumph of Fairbanks’s career. The superb visual design, spectacle, imaginative splendor, and visual effects, along with his bravura performance (leading a cast of literally thousands), all contribute to making this his masterpiece.”

Silent Movie Nights are joint fundraising events co-produced by The Friends of the Palace Theater and The Hilo Theatre Organ Society to raise money for the continued restoration and maintenance of the Robert Morton Pipe Organ.

Live Score performed by organist Walter Greenwood.
