ABOUT THE EVENT: Prior to the screening, Los Angeles Silent Film Festival merch will be available for purchase in the auditorium. ABOUT THE FILMS: “Ilka’s Birthday at Egyptian Theatre,” 1925, 1 Min, Library of Congress, USA A delightful Hollywood newsreel capturing a canine birthday celebration in the forecourt of Grauman’s Egyptian Theatre. Featuring some of silent cinema’s most famous four-legged stars—including Rin-Tin-Tin—the short offers a charming glimpse into Hollywood’s fascination with celebrity, both human and animal. FORMAT: DCP WHAT PRICE GLORY, 1926, Dir. Raoul Walsh, 123 Mins, MoMA USA Based on a story by THE BIG PARADE writer Laurence Stallings, Raoul Walsh’s WHAT PRICE GLORY is the tale of friendly rivals, Captain Flagg (Victor McLaglen) and Sergeant Quirk (Edmund Lowe) who battle each other over women in their travels around the world. Reconnecting in France during WWI, the two compete for Charmaine’s (Dolores Del Rio) love while enduring the cruelties of war. One of the first male buddy films, WHAT PRICE GLORY takes a coarse, unsentimental look at the horrors and chaos of war, timely even today. Director Raoul Walsh and second unit director John Ford demonstrate their eye for composition and strong, male relationships on their road to iconic success. Restored by The Museum of Modern Art and The Film Foundation, in collaboration with George Eastman Museum and Academy Film Archive. With the support of the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation. FORMAT: DCP
