The Library for the Performing Arts is celebrating 60 years. Part of their celebration includes a silent film era screening of Love 'Em and Leave 'Em from 1926. The screening event is Friday, July 25th at 7pm.
Love 'Em and Leave 'Em is a comedy romance that was shot at Paramount Astoria Studios, now known as Kaufman Astoria Studios. The film stars Evelyn Brent and Louise Brooks.
The film will screen with live piano accompaniment by Ben Model. Following the screening, there will a discussion with Model and NYPL's Elena Rossi-Snook.
Preceding the feature will be the short Movie Night (1929), which takes a look at family movie-going in the 1920's.
This event will take place in the David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center located at 1887 Broadway on the Upper West Side.
The event is FREE, but general admission is on first-come first-serve basis. You show up and wait on line. Good luck!
