The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Miss Lulu Bett starting at 8 p.m. The Eastman calendar sums it up like this: "a small-town girl, played with pained humility by Lois Wilson, has been relegated to the thankless role of servant in her own sister's household. DeMille observes the details of ordinary life—dinner table conversation, dirty dishes stacked in the sink, idle hopes and dreams—with gravity and grace, and makes us long for Miss Lulu Bett to find happiness." Also featuring live piano accompaniment by Philip C. Carli.
