CANTON — For one show only, live music will accompany a famous silent comedy at the Rialto Theatre on Thursday, May 4 at 7 p.m. Paragon Ragtime Orchestra will come to Canton to play the original orchestral score of Harold Lloyd’s “Safety Last!” (1923) during the screening which is also set to include Vitagraph Studio’s 1926 short, “The Weak-End Driver” that will also be accompanied with the original music and live sound effects, according to the news release.
