Half Moon Bay Odd Fellows Presents Vintage Films of the Early 20th Century
Sat. May 18th @ 7:30pm - 9:30pm
With live piano accompaniment by Shauna Pickett-Gordon
We will show two films from the past with live piano accompaniment by Shauna Pickett-Gordon. Shauna will grace our presence by providing an experience which harkens back to the era of Silent Cinema in the early years before sound. She has researched period music and set it to action, which creates a unique family treat. This is her tenth year doing this, and it is something you will not want to miss.
“Flash Gordon” episode 4
This is a 1936 superhero serial film. It is based on the comic-strip character created by Alex Raymond in 1934. The short serial presents the on-going story of Gordon’s visit to the planet Mongo and his encounters with the evil Emperor Ming the Merciless.
Safety Last
A boy (Harold Lloyd) moves to New York City to make enough money to support his loving girlfriend (Mildred Davis), but soon discovers that making it in the Big City is harder than it looks. When he hears that a store manager will pay $1,000 to anyone who can draw people to his store, he convinces his friend, the “human fly,” (Bill Strother) to climb the building and split the profit with him. But when his pal gets in trouble with the law, he must complete the crazy stunt on his own.
Release date: April 1, 1923 (USA)
