Come listen to a silent film made in 1921, the way the Ringlings would have viewed it then. Based on a progressive novel by another local woman, Zona Gale's novel "Miss Lulu Bett". William deMille produced and directed Miss Lulu Bett, a film of extraordinary conviction and insight. It was then often the custom for unmarried women to lodge with family; thus we discover Miss Lulu in a boring Midwestern town, an exploited household drudge for her sister and her overbearing brother-in-law. In the course of the story (based upon the Pulitzer Prize play and novel by Zona Gale), Lulu evolves from slavery into an attractive and self-assured woman, prepared to make her own life. Revealed through wonderful performances and clever use of props, the characters are extraordinarily solid and involving. Cost of $8.00 online, $10.00 at the door includes snacks and 1 beverage.
