Over at Nitrateville, somebody has posted a bill from the Keystone Theatre (Broadway & 100th), a second-run house that showed double-features. It appears to be from 1926. Check out the lineup for the week shown: Sun-Tues, May 2, 3, 4: Anita Stewart in "Never the Twain Shall Meet" (MGM) and Thomas Meighan and Lila Lee in "Old Home Week" (Paramount) plus Pathe News. Wed-Thurs, May 5-6: Eileen Percy & Creighton Hale in "The Shadow on the Wall" and Raymond Griffith, Wallace Beery, Vera Reynolds and Louise Fazenda in "The Night Club" (Paramount) plus an unnamed comedy short. Fri-Sat, May 7-8: Betty Compson in "New Lives for Old" (Paramount) and Lon Chaney and Norma Shearer in "The Tower of Lies" (MGM), plus Pathe News and an Out of the Inkwell cartoon. Matinees are 20¢ on weekdays and 25¢ on weekends; evening performances are 35¢. Kids are always 20¢. Incidentally, "Tower of Lies" is a lost film (not sure about the others) and I've always especially rued that; I think "HE Who Gets Slapped" is Lon Chaney's best film, and "Tower" reunited Chaney, Shearer, and "HE's" director, Victor Sjöström. I have always had mixed feelings about Tod "The Chaney Director" Browning. His films are wildly uneven. Okay, I just looked up "The Shadow on the Wall" 'cause I've never heard of it - and because it's the only film listed without the studio. It's from "Gotham Productions" and directed by (ready for this?) B. Reeves Eason! Edited by Laughing Gravy, Apr 14 2011, 07:59 AM.
