“I’M NO ANGEL” (1933) – 35mm presentation.
Starring MAE WEST, CARY GRANT. Directed by WESLEY RUGGLES. West takes on lion taming as well as wooing men out of their money in this pre-code gem. One-liners and double entendres are in full force, but that's to be fully expected as West wrote this screenplay herself.
AT 9:20PM
“SHE DONE HIM WRONG” (1933) – 35mm presentation
Starring MAE WEST, CARY GRANT. Directed by LOWELL SHERMAN. Based on West's successful Broadway play Diamond Lil, “Lou” works a town full of corrupt men like they were puppets on a string.

“SEARCH FOR BEAUTY” (1934) – 35mm presentation.
Starring BUSTER CRABBE, IDA LUPINO, ROBERT ARMSTRONG. Directed by ERLE C. KENTON. Almost a satirical take on the code itself (and fascist regimes in general) this movie divides its story between Pre-Code subversive behavior and Code-enforced squeaky-clean appearances, with gratuitous near nudity!
AT 9:10PM
“MURDER AT THE VANITIES” (1934) – 35mm presentation
Starring CARL BRISSON, VICTOR McLAGLEN. Directed by MITCHELL LEISEN. A fast-paced backstage-musical murder-mystery packed to the seams with nose thumbing at The Code (which would be enforced later that year). Chorus girls are dressed in next to nothing, there's a race mingling number featuring Duke Ellington and his Orchestra, and a love song to getting high on marijuana. 35mm prints courtesy Universal Pictures.
"42ND STREET" (1933) 35MM PRESENTATION.
MONDAY FEBRUARY 24, 2014. 7:30PM. ALL SEATS $8.00. Advance tickets available
Starring WARNER BAXTER, BEBE DANIELS, DICK POWELL, RUBY KEELER. Directed by LLOYD BACON. Hungry, broke, and desperate to do anything to make ends meet, the characters of 42nd Street embody the hardships of the audiences. The lavishly choreographed Busby Berkeley dance numbers gave those same audiences the escape they clamored for in the hard years to come. 35mm print courtesy Warner Bros.

Starring THE 4 MARX BROTHERS, MARGARET DUMONT, LILLIAN ROTH. Directed by VICTOR HERMAN. A valuable painting goes missing during a party honoring famed African explorer Captain Spaulding; unrelenting hilarity ensues.

AT 9:30PM
“GIRLS ABOUT TOWN” (1931) – 35mm presentation
Starring KAY FRANCIS, LILYAN TASHMAN, JOEL McCREA. Directed by GEORGE CUCKOR. Follow two “good time girls” as one becomes disenfranchised with “the life” and the other runs a fowl of a none-too-happy wife.
