It's been so long since I've posted on here, that I couldn't remember my old username for the life of me. (New Year's resolution #1: To become a more active Tiki Central member). But I digress... It looks like 2010 is already shaping up to be a great year for tiki. Just stumbled upon the listing for this March's silent movies at The Paramount and the theme is South Seas. Yep, that's right...three consecutive Mondays of silent films from the '20s and 30's and every single one of them with a South Seas plot. The Paramount's silent movies fests are always a great time -- the theater is grand, the live Wurlitzer organ accompaniment is out of this world, and Trader Joe's provides free munchies. Movies start at 7:00 pm; tickets aren't available just yet...but I definitely think we need to get a group together to attend. Oh -- and here's the Schedule: March 15, 2010 – LeGong: Dance of the Virgins (1935) Director: Henri de la Falaise Producer: Constance Bennett Cast: Poetoe Aloes Goesti, Saplak Njoman An original poster boasts this film to be true, shot entirely on-location in Bali with the use of an all-Balinese cast with native music and showing native customs. Known now as an “American exploitation film” the crew gained access to local villages and people willing to act in the film. This was also one of the last feature films to be shot using the two-strip Technicolor process. March 22, 2010 – Tabu: A Story of the South Seas (1931) Director, Writer: F.W. Murnau Producer: David Flaherty Cast: Anne Chevalier, Bill Brambridge Matahi falls is love with the beautiful Reri whom was just chosen to be the new Holy Maid. Matahi and Reri escape the confines of their village, but are being pursued by the village Elders. March 29, 2010 – Sadie Thompson (1928) Director, Writer: Raoul Walsh Producer: Gloria Swanson Cast: Gloria Swanson, Lionel Barrymore Sadie Thompson attempts to leave her wild ways behind by starting anew in Pago-Pago. But when an overzealous missionary finds out about Sadie Thompson’s past he tries to force her back to San Francisco. And here's a link to the event: http://www.stgpresents.org/artists/?artist=1054 Let's start planning... Happy New Year, Pineapple Princess (Melissa)
