Chicago's Arcada Theatre, 105 E. Main
St. in St. Charles, is continuing its "Silent Film Night" series with
the silent film classic Pandora's Box (1929), featuring Louise Brooks, Fritz Kortner and Francis Lederer. This German film was directed by G.W. Pabst. More information may be found HERE.
Chicago was a one-time home to Louise Brooks (in the early 1930s.) The Arcada Theatre opened in 1926 as a silent film and vaudeville theater. Tickets are $10 or $8 for members of the Chicago Area Theatre Organ Enthusiasts or the Silent Film Society of Chicago. Visit www.arcadalive.com
The movie will be accompanied
live by Jay Warren, Chicago's foremost pipe organ expert, on the
classically restored 3/16 Marr Colton/Geneva Arcada organ. As a regular photoplay
organist for the Silent Film Society of Chicago, Warren has accompanied
most of the great silent films throughout his 40-year career. He has
been featured annually for the society's highly regarded Silent Summer
Film Festival since its beginning in 2000.
