LADY FOR A DAY

(1933) Warren William’s gambler Dave the Dude and his gang of guys and dolls turn May Robson’s haggard fruit peddler Apple Annie into a society dame in preparation for a visit by her hoity-toity daughter. Adapted by Riskin from a Damon Runyon story. Remade by Capra as Pocketful of Miracles. Approx. 96 min. 35mm.
2:50, 7:00

"Robert Riskin’s razor-sharp dialogue is matched by Capra’s super-subtle visuals, and backed by an array of suitably Runyonesque characters."

BROADWAY BILL

(1934) Warner Baxter would rather race the eponymous thoroughbred than manage dad-in-law Walter Connolly’s paper box factory, while sister-in-law Myrna Loy encourages him to rebel against their stifling family. Approx. 102 min. 35mm.

 “An irresistible blend of pathos and comedy.”
