Me and the Boys, Bachelor's Affairs screenings
2015-11-27 20:00 - 21:11 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Me and the Boys (Victor Saville, U.S. 1929, 7 min., 35mm) followed by Bachelor's Affairs (Alfred L. Werker, U.S. 1932, 64 min., 35mm).
British-born Victor Saville—a contemporary of Alfred Hitchcock at Gaumont—directed this early "soundie" featuring an American cast, including Estelle Brody who croons "Mean to Me" and "My Suppressed Desire" with alluring panache. Although uncredited, the "hot" jazz sound of Chicago's Ben Pollack Band, whose members include a 20-year-old Benny Goodman on clarinet, will delight viewers.
"Middle-aged playboy Andrew Hoyt (Adolphe Menjou), who had previously been a staunch bachelor, gets sucked into marrying a beautiful but vacuous young blonde, after her older sister has expertly set the bait. Realizing pretty quickly that he is not up to the vigorous physical activity demanded by his eager twentysomething spouse, he conspires with his best friend and his loyal secretary to find a new plaything for the soon-to-be ex-wife. . . . Based on a play by James Forbes, Precious, that opened and closed on Broadway in January—february 1929, this unsentimental pre-Code film features some of the crispest and fastest-paced dialogue of any film coming out of Fox; indeed, its cynical tone and rhythm rivals anything produced at Warner Brothers in that period." — Jan-Christopher Horak, UCLA

Start Making Sense musical performance
2015-11-27 21:00 - 23:00 | Montage Music Hall, 50 Chestnut St., Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
If David Byrne is one of the geniuses of modern times, then Start Making Sense is a tribute to genius. The musicians in this 8-piece Talking Heads cover have come from psychedelia-funk, NYC underground spoof bands, worldbeat jam, head-banging punk and from onstage with Frank Zappa's band members to bring to stage a "once in a lifetime" experience. A rockin', funkin', danceable celebration of the new-wave punk we loved from the 80's with frontman Jon Braun as a spot-on David Byrne – suit too big and all.
