Orpheum 601 Smithe St, Vancouver Monday, May 25, 2026, 7:30 – 9:30pm Escape to the roaring 1920s at Silent Movie Mondays, a popular film series presented by Vancouver Civic Theatres! Join us in the stunning Orpheum theatre to enjoy a screening of The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927) directed by Alfred Hitchcock while a soundtrack is played live on the theatre’s rare Wurlitzer organ - an instrument originally created to accompany silent films and the last in Canada still in its original home. Alfred Hitchcock considered The Lodger to be his true directorial debut, it also became his first critical and commercial success.
