Pandora's Box with Louise Brooks plays in Detroit, MI on March 28

The Redford Theatre in Detroit will screen Pandora's Box (1929) on Saturday, March 28th at 8 p.m. The Redford Theatre, with its original 3 manual, 10 rank Barton Theatre Pipe Organ, has served as a Metro Detroit entertainment center since it opened on January 27, 1928 -- just a year before the legendary Louise Brooks' film opened in Berlin.

The historic Redford Theatre is located at 17360 Lahser Road in Detroit, Michigan. The theatre is owned and operated by the non-profit Motor City Theatre Organ Society. The Redford Theatre is operated by an all-volunteer staff. Proceeds from programs presented at the Redford are used to restore and maintain the theatre building (depicted below).

Louise Brooks' drawings in Rochester, New York

Tim Moore posted on Facebook that Hogan's Hideaway, a restaurant not far from Louise Brooks' longtime Rochester, New York residence, has moved their drawings of the actress to their maitre d' station / loo area. And, they've added a write-up about the star. [The image at the top left, however, resembles Clara Bow.]

Tim also noted: "The place was a grocery when Brooks moved to the neighborhood in '62. Not her closest option. The Hideaway, opened in 1980, was a bistro in the back while she was alive; now the grocery is gone, the restaurant is up front, and a bar is in back."
