...year-old backpacker exploring his family roots. In 1987, he and half-sister Auma rode a dilapidated old bus from Kisumu, the provincial capital, 60 miles away. As they lurched along dirt roads, a couple of chickens nestled in Obama's lap and mothers passed wet babies back and forth to the two young visitors.

Three months later the theater went all-silent, and the organ (whose pipes "speak" through a vent from a side room) has hardly had a quiet moment since. As well as the Thursday-night show, West runs an annual silent-film festival and puts on extra screenings by request-earlier today, for a group of New Zealand golfers whose game was rained...
