SHOW PEOPLE in Echo Park



Show People (1928) directed by King Vidor, starring Marion Davies, William Haines

Next Thursday, May 4, at the Echo Park Film Center, Tom Barnes will present his 8mm print of King Vidor's quite funny 1928 comedy Show People, starring Marion Davies and William Haines, and with live accompaniment by veteran organist Bob Mitchell. "If any of you don't know Bob," says Barnes, "he's been a staple at the Silent Movie Theater since the Larry Austin days; Larry Austin used to introduce him as 'an original,' because he started accompanying silent movies in 1924!"

Also featured will be Maurice Tourneur's A Girl's Folly (aka A Movie Romance), a 30-minute 1917 comedy about the early days of moviemaking, starring Doris Kenyon and Robert Warwick.

There will be a requested donation of $10 to help pay for Mitchell's services and to benefit the Echo Park Film Center, a non-profit organization offering free classes in filmmaking to teenagers and senior citizens.
