Modern Times Chaplin’s last "silent" film, filled with sound effects, was made when everyone else was making talkies. Charlie turns against modern society, the machine age and progress.

City Lights This charming simple story is of the Tramp who meets a lovely blind girl selling flowers on the sidewalk who mistakes him for a wealthy duke. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money by befriending a wealthy man and leading him out of his drunken stupors. In a series of comic adventures that only Chaplin could pull off, he eventually succeeds although his efforts land him in jail. While incarcerated, the girl has the operation to restore her sight and yearns to meet her benefactor. The tear-inducing closing scene, in which she discovers that he is not a wealthy duke but only the Tramp, is one of the highest moments in all of movie history. The film will be shown with the recorded Chaplin soundtrack. Total running time: 71 min.

The Navigator Buster Keaton stars as Rollo Treadway, an inexperienced lad of extraordinary wealth -- and surprisingly little common sense -- who finds himself adrift on "The Navigator" with no one else on board except an equally naïve girl. After discovering each other's presence in an ingenious ballet of unintentional hide-and-seek, the couple resourcefully fashion a home for themselves aboard the derelict boat. They embark on a series of misadventures such as Rollo in a diving suit battling the attacks of an aggressive swordfish. Upon the high seas the couple becomes surrounded by a fleet of menacing cannibals. With the aid of a crate of flares the film reaches its explosively funny climax. This film brilliantly exemplifies Buster Keaton's ability to mine rich humor from the inanimate. The Navigator is a classic of the Golden Age of Comedy, centered on and about a single extraordinary prop: an immense five hundred-foot yacht. Plus: "The Love Nest" (1923): Buster trades a sailboat for a U-boat to plumb new depths of hilarity. Total running time: 110min. |

Mark Obmascik: Halfway to Heaven, the 14ers Climbing a 14,000-foot mountain is a rite of passage in Colorado. Every year more than 500,000 people attempt to summit one of the state’s 14ers, but only 1,300 people have reported standing atop all 54 mountains. Fat, forty-four, the father of three sons, and facing a vasectomy, bestselling author Mark Obmascik decided to try scaling all the high peaks in a single summer. The result was "Halfway to Heaven: My White-knuckled -- and Knuckleheaded -- Quest for the Rocky Mountain High," winner of the National Outdoor Book Award for Outdoor Literature. With a slide show depicting the highs and lows of mountaineering in the Colorado Rockies, Obmascik will discuss lessons of life, death, and bacon double cheeseburgers above timberline. Obmascik also is author of "The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature, and Fowl Obsession," the bestseller that inspired the 2011 movie starring Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson.

Blackmail This is Alfred Hitchcock's forgotten silent version of his classic "Blackmail." Most people have seen the sound version but the silent version is in many ways superior. Both films star Anny Ondra whose voice was overdubbed in the talkie. As a silent actress she was radiant being free in movement and expression as she did not have to mouth the words spoken off camera by another actress. Blackmail is about the daughter of a London shopkeeper whose boyfriend, a Scotland Yard detective, seems more interested in police work than in her. The woman secretly arranged to meet another man and agrees to go to see his studio, where the stranger tries to rape her. The woman defends herself and kills the attacker with a bread knife. Her boyfriend is assigned to investigate and soon determines that his girlfriend is the killer. The silent murder scene as well as the tension filled finale demonstrates Hitchcock’s early brilliance for suspense, tension, symbolism, and use of B&W shading. The film began as a silent film but to cash in on the new popularity of talkies, the film's producer asked Hitchcock to film a portion of the movie in sound. Hitchcock thought the idea absurd. But he redid his silent film into a talkie. In 1929 the silent film was much more popular as many English theatres did not have the ability to reproduce the sound and used live accompaniment as we too will do this evening. Hitchcock used several elements that would become Hitchcock "trademarks" including a beautiful blonde in peril, a famous landmark in the finale and a cameo appearance. 80 min. Plus: “The Uneasy Three” starring Charley Chase, 22min
