DOUBLE FEATURE

STEAMBOAT BILL JR.

(1928) Buster Keaton as a ukulele-playing collegiate twit who's a disappointment to his gruff sea-faring father, until that spectacular cyclone finale -- still a marvel of special effects and physical stamina. "Behind the elegant slapstick is an eloquent fable of survival." -- Dave Kehr. Plus the short ONE WEEK (1920) -- Buster and bride con struct a pre-fab house with purposely scrambled instructions...35mm print.

THE PATSY

(1928, King Vidor) In Vidor's comedy masterpiece, flapper Marion Davies, bullied by mom Marie Dressler, takes on a self-help "personality development" course, wickedly imitating Mae Murray, Pola Negri and Lillian Gish along the way. "Filmland's Funniest Female, the only one I would mention in the same breath as Charlie Chaplin." - Punch.
