UPDATE:

Due to it being a week night, we won't be having a get-together after the film. But plan on them for future events!

Enchantment. 1921. USA. Directed by Robert Vignola. Based on a story by Frank R. Adams. With Marion Davies, Forrest Stanley. Although Davies is better known today for her costume epics, this updated edition of The Taming of the Shrew is far more typical of the films she made in New York. Joseph Urban's stylish production design may be the first appearance of European modernism in an American feature. Courtesy The Library of Congress. Silent, with musical accompaniment. Approx. 75 min.

If you are only familiar with Davies through her connection to Hearst as his mistress, you are missing alot. Davies was smart, beautiful and an incredibly talented comedienne. This movie is as rare as they come. Don't miss the chance to see it!

Thursday, September 18, 2008, 8:15 p.m., Theater 2, T2

The theater is a few doors down from the MOMA's main entrance (going towards 5th Ave).

Better to get there early to buy tix as MOMA screenings are very popular and we'll get better seats that way.

    It was great to meet you all as well, and thanks for coming! Unfortunately the next meetup is on a Monday but that might change (see the details and you'll know why). I would also like to socialize afterwards, let's play it by ear and I'll try to schedule the 3rd meetup on a Friday or weekend!

    • “ Dear Suzanne, Ann (or is it Anne?), Miriam, Michelle, and Greg, I enjoyed meeting all of you last night. It was fun chatting about film before the movie began. Hopefully, after the next event, we will be able to get a drink or grab a bite to eat so that we can talk some more and get to know each other better. Enjoy your weekend, Jonathan :) ”
