A Full Program Disc
Have you ever wondered how it must have felt to spend an evening at the movies during the silent era? We certainly have and so we've put together a program that we hope will provide a similar viewing experience. Although we will never see an original silent film program we imagine they were something like this...
Feature Presentation
BROKEN HEARTS OF BROADWAY (Irving Cummings Productions - 1923)
Colleen Moore, Johnnie Walker, Alice Lake, Tully Marshall, Kate Price, Creighton Hale, Anthony Merlo. Directed by Irving Cummings. ~ ~ ~ Mary Ellis (Colleen) trys to make it on Broadway but her inability to compromise her virtue soon leads to unemployment. A great example of Colleen's screen character immediately before Flaming Youth and the flapper revolution.
Short Subject
FELIX IN HOLLYWOOD (Pat Sullivan Comics - 1923)

The Screening Room

Charles Chaplin, Virginia Kirtley, Alice Davenport, Henry Lehrman. Directed by Henry Lehrman. ~ ~ ~ The first film appearance of Charles Chaplin. Rascally Charlie meets up with Henry Lehrman and almost immediately becomes the bane of his existence. A rare glimpse of Chaplin before the creation of his "little tramp" character.
