About the film:
Clive Brook stars as "Heliotrope" Harry, a gentleman thief tossed in jail for killing his wife's lover. Before turning himself in, Harry leaves his baby girl on the doorstep of a rich, childless couple. Desperate to keep his lush of a spouse Lilly (Olga Baclanova) away from their girl, he tasks his former partner Froggy with making sure the kid turns out OK. Once Harry is out of the clink, he impersonates his daughter's butler to protect her from Lilly, who will stop at no underhanded trickery to get her hands on the girl's money. Costarring William Powell, Mary Brian, and Hedda Hopper.

This is a silent film with live, improvised accompaniment from Jeff Rapsis.

We'll meet in the theater lobby before the show and head to our seats just before 2:00pm. After the show we'll have a bite to eat and discuss all things Clive Brook, Hedda Hopper, William Powell, silent film, and classics in general. Location tbd.
