Schedule:

11:00 a.m: Captain Blood
This swashbuckling classic was the final film released by the Vitagraph Company. Early silent matinee legend J. Warren Keerigan stars as the valiant Peter Blood, a doctor enslaved in Barbados for treating the enemy, who leads his fellow prisoners to a rebellious life as pirates. Filled with thrilling action sequences, romance, and incredible practical special effects. Restored by the Library of Congress in 2018, this rarely screened print features the original tinting and additional shots missing since the 1930s. Silent.

2:45 p.m: Gypsy
Let us entertain you with this iconic Broadway show turned Oscar-winning musical chronicling burlesque dancer Gypsy Rose Lee’s rise to fame. Natalie Wood stars as a shy girl with seemingly little talent, forced to tour the Vaudeville circuit with her sister. Also starring Rosalind Russell who gives a go-for-broke performance as cinema’s ultimate stage mother. Guaranteed to make your spirits climb, GYPSY features over 13 musical numbers with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, including “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” and beautiful costumes from Orry-Kelly, showcased on a rich IB Technicolor print. You’ll have a real good time.

7:00 p.m: Out of the Past
A moody noir classic from Jacques Tourneur starring Robert Mitchum, ensnared here by the beautiful but calculating Jane Greer as the femme fatale. After leaving a seedy life as a small-time private eye, Mitchum is pulled back into trouble when his past returns to haunt him. Remarkable cinematography by Nicholas Musuraca sets the brooding fatalist tone. Out Of The Past bristles with hard boiled dialogue and memorable performances.
