The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Mantrap starting at 7 p.m. and then Reckless at 8:30 p.m. From the Eastman House calendar: "Clara Bow is at her most coquettish in Mantrap, almost singlehandedly giving the titular Canadian retreat its name. Her roundelay of lovers amuses the townsfolk, embarrasses her husband, and frustrates a New York lawyer who had hoped for a restive vacation. In Reckless, Jean Harlow stars as a Broadway showgirl whose perfect love affair turns into a scandal when her husband commits suicide but the media cries foul play." Mantrap will be accompanied on piano by Philip C. Carli.
