DAMARISCOTTA — On Thursday at 7 p.m., Lincoln Theater will holding a benefit screening of the silent film, “The Seventh Day,” “filmed in New Harbor in 1922 and shown in 2012 with live piano underscoring using the original film score and lots of good 1920’s fun,” according to a news release.

A news release describes the film as follows:

The movie tells the tale of a group of New York society folk on a yachting excursion who are forced to put into a New England fishing village for repairs. The engaged couple, Reggie and Patricia, are taken with the quaint town and its quainter ways, but also with two locals, Betty Alden and her brother John. Patricia begins to fall for John while her fiancé takes a seemingly unworthy liking to Betty. The new infatuations lead to disharmony … and a look at a different time and place that is so close and so far away.

Live piano accompaniment to the film will be provided by Doug Protsik, who has been performing old-time piano for more than 30 years, both as a solo artist and with bands such as “The Old Grey Goose” and the “MaineCountry Dance Orchestra.” He has learned the style and technique from piano players here in Maine, the elderly folks who played for dances, Grange meetings, radio programs, and for silent movies.

Proceeds from the evening will go toward the theater’s digital upgrade fund. Tickets are $15 for adults and children 12 and younger are free when with an adult.

“Come enjoy an evening of old-fashioned ice cream social fun with a look at the peninsula during a different time,” the release beckons. Music, a movie, popcorn and ice cream will be available for a good cause.
