SEVEN CHANCES Starring BUSTER KEATON
Anything But Silent: Silent Classics with Live Music
New date! Tuesday, December 6 at 7:30pm Members $9 / Public $13
Buster Keaton plays a young lawyer who will inherit $7 million at 7 o'clock on his 27th birthday--provided he is married. Long before discovering this, Keaton has pursued a lifelong courtship of Ruth Dwyer. He proposes again, but this time she turns him down because she thinks (mistakenly) that he wants her only so that he can claim his inheritance. The doleful Keaton is thus obliged to spend the few hours left before the 7 PM deadline in search of a bride--any bride. He has no luck whatsoever until his pal T. Roy Barnes prints the story of Keaton's incoming legacy in the local newspaper. As a result, literally hundreds of women, bedecked in veils and bearing bouquets, chase Keaton through the busy streets of Los Angeles. A hidden gem among Keaton's films, Seven Chances contains one of his most hilarious finales. Watch for Jean Arthur in a bit as a receptionist. USA, 1925, 56 mins. Ben Model, silent film accompanist for MoMA,composes his own scores and performs in a style that evokes the silent era and reflects a contemporary audience's appreciation of music www.benmodel.com
