The classic film Picadilly ends the Silent Film Series season.

Steamy Piccadilly ends the Silent Film Series season
FRI, 4/9
The Silent Film Series at Boulder's Chautauqua Community House ends tonight with a bang, not a whimper, as Anna May Wong makes a sultry star turn in the 1929 British masterpiece Piccadilly. The newly restored film, featuring Wong as a housemaid turned nightclub siren, comes to Boulder after successful showings in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The screenings mark a revival of interest in Wong, the first Asian-American actress to gain international celebrity. Although she may be best known as Marlene Dietrich's traveling companion in Shanghai Express, her career spanned almost a quarter of a century and included more than eighty pictures, both silents and talkies. Piccadilly was her last silent movie.
Film-goers need not expect a highbrow affair, however. Although the film is soundless, the theater will be anything but: The audience is encouraged to hiss at the villains and cheer for the heroine, and the crowd will be backed by live piano accompaniment.
Tickets for the 7 p.m. show are $5 for adults, $4 for children and seniors. For more information, call 303-440-7666 or log on to www.chautauqua.com. -- Karen Bowers
