The Dryden will screen Don Juan (Alan Crosland, U.S. 1926, 112 min., 35mm).

John Barrymore was at his peak in 1926, both professionally—only a few years before, he had starred in a very successful stage production of Hamlet—and physically. At the time of Don Juan's release, he was considered the greatest actor in America. The Vitaphone sound system was given an excellent launch with this lavish film, costarring a 22-year-old Mary Astor as the only woman who can reform Don Juan from his philandering ways.
