U.S. RESTORATION PREMIERE!
Starring ANTONIO MORENO and COLLEEN MOORE
Plus PIRATES
(1929, William A. Seiter) Oh, so famed playwright Antonio Moreno’s latest work flopped because fiancée Colleen Moore was too “unsophisticated” to play the lead; guess it’s time for the flower of Magnolia Gap, Virginia, to get to Gotham for some experience – good luck! Her next-door neighbors are gangsters! Recently rediscovered in Italy, this is its first U.S. showing in over 80 years. DCP. Plus Pirates (1929): brand new Eastman House restoration of an MGM Technicolor short. 35mm. Approx. 92 min.
Introduced by the Vitaphone Project’s Ron Hutchinson.
♪ Live piano accompaniment by Steve Sterner
Special thanks to Ned Price (Warner Bros), Ron Hutchinson (The Vitaphone Project), Joseph Yranksi, James Layton, and Daniel Bish (George Eastman House).
