So, the show was a smash-
It was as if we were transported back to the 1920’s. the marke was a normal looking flashing light sign in the front of the building, the kind that threw you off if you didn’t know the history of the place.
Yet when you walked into the lobby, that’s where the magic became apparent. The floor a hard burgundy color, walls decked out in a golden Deco pattern. The two large wooden doors opened up to an impressive great hall, fully equip. with soft lights, cathedral ceilings and warm comfortable chairs.
The band- HOT HOUSE, live. They truly were gifted with grace. The acoustic guitars and the snapping sounds for the hard playing replaced the drums of a typical band. While the lead acoustic player lade a Spanish style to the songs as if they were made to be born together. Though to top it off in a perfect marriage of harmony was the violin and stand up base…..
Each note sung an emotion straight from the movies themes. Perfect balance and right on queue.
Movie #1. “IT’S A BIRD” 1930, lead actor “Charlie Bowers. This movie – hilarious in every detail was one of the first Stop Animations ever put to screen. About a man who goes in search of a bird that could eat metal. Humorous in wit.
Movie #2. “NOW YOU TELL ONE” again, the lead role by Charlie Bower, 1926. I have never seen a mouse shoot a wooded cat with a pistol. Too good to be missed.
Movie #3. THE FALL IN THE HOUSE OF USHEER, directed by James Sibley Watson Jr. 1928. I you would like to see a very trippy movie this is a must see. The set was built in his barn. This director did a wonderful job of fade in’s and fade outs and also split screen.
Movie #4. THE LAND BEFORE THE SUNSET, 1912 Thomas Edison, Inc. This was a sad story about the social conditions and how a little boy born out of poverty and destitute overcomes his future by slipping into a fatasy world. To live in the land before the sunset—
There is another one coming up in April-
I will be there
