Speedy screening (2017-Jul-24 @ 1:30 p.m.)
2017-07-24 13:30 - 14:55 (America/New_York) | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Speedy (Ted Wilde, U.S. 1928, 85 min., 35mm) with live piano accompaniment by Philip C. Carli as part of the America's Favorite Pastime series.
In a rollicking action comedy that rivals the masterful Safety Last, Harold Lloyd plays Harold "Speedy" Swift. A dreamer and schemer, Speedy gets himself involved in a number of outrageous slapstick stunts in his attempts to hold down a job. The highlights include a climactic mad dash across New York City in a horse-drawn trolley and Speedy's equally uproarious taxi ride to Yankee Stadium with terrified passenger Babe Ruth (playing himself!).

The Great Train Robbery, Way Down East screening
2017-07-25 19:30 - 22:10 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Great Train Robbery (Edwin S. Porter, U.S. 1903, 12 min., 35mm), and Way Down East (D. W. Griffith, U.S. 1920, 148 min., 35mm) with live piano accompaniment by Philip C. Carli as part of the Tricks through Time series.
The second silent night of our special effects program is dedicated to the fathers of editing and suspense, Porter and Griffith. Porter's milestone The Great Train Robbery is one of the earliest films to use the technique of cross cutting, in which two scenes happening in two different locations are shown simultaneously. Griffith's dynamic flair for action makes the best of this innovation in the classic climatic sequence of Way Down East on top of breaking ice floes.

This delightful MGM musical featuring songs by the unparalleled Cole Porter finds Fred Astaire and George Murphy as an aspiring dance team. Murphy is mistakenly given the starring role in a Broadway show, but he eventually realizes that it is his partner who truly deserves the role and feigns illness to give Astaire the chance to shine alongside the unforgettable Eleanor Powell. The rare teaming of Astaire and Powell is fully showcased in the legendary "Begin the Beguine" number that is the centerpiece of this magical musical.

Here is a statement from the artist, Emoore: "I got my start in the arts as a delinquent graffiti artist that opened the door to dive into fine arts on my own terms while still preserving the emotion and feel of outsider art. These new batch of paintings are inspired by traveling the country by hitchhiking and hopping trains and soaking in the sights and feel of it all while referencing film photographs taken along the way and memories engraved on my brain. The paintings have an impressionistic feel and are rounded out with some abstract expressionist paintings that subtly pay homage to my graffiti roots."

Silent-screen superstar Norma Talmadge, who appeared in 160 films during the silent era, made only two talkies before her Hollywood career came to a screeching halt. Why, exactly, remains a mystery. In this entertaining mash-up of backstage musical and gritty crime drama, Talmadge not only talks for the first time on screen, she sings as well, and she's quite good at both. She stars as a leading lady of the Broadway stage who, married to an alcoholic songwriter (Gilbert Roland), gets mixed up with the lecherous gangster (John Wray) producing her latest show.

Based on the novel by Michael Crichton, this sci-fi thriller stars Arthur Hill, James Olson, Kate Reid, and David Wayne as a team of scientists investigating the outbreak of a deadly microorganism brought to Earth on a satellite. With The Andromeda Strain, Trumbull experiments with photographic visual effects he had used in Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and innovates with advanced computer renderings for the first time in Hollywood.
