5:15-6:15pm Docents available at the Marion Davies Guest House to discuss the site
6:30-7pm: Lecture and short film; Gibson Goddess
7:15-8:45: Screening of Quality Street
Directed by Sidney Franklin, and based on a play by James M. Barrie, Quality Street (1927) is a timeless classic in which Marion Davies proves herself to be one of the most versatile actresses of the silent screen. Full of charm and yet sharp as only a well-machined farce can be, Quality Street received tremendous praise for its high production values, excellent cast, and superb direction. It holds up today as one of the rare gems of the silent era. Film master provided courtesy of Mr. Robert Board.
Prefaced by The Gibson Goddess (1909) – this lovely early film provides a rare glimpse into the turn of the last century. D.W. Griffith directs this vignette of Marion Leonard, the original "Gibson Goddess", who is hounded by men at a seaside resort. She manipulates her wardrobe making her legs look chubby in order to appear unattractive to all, except for one lucky suitor. She reveals her true lovely figure to him (and bare legs!) and it is true love romanticized in turn of the century cinematic style.
This new edition of Quality Street is made possible by the Annenberg Foundation, and will be available for touring and on DVD with the new Maria Newman score in 2012. It is only fitting that the world premiere version take place at the Beach House, Marion Davies' favorite residence.
Maria Newman is critically acclaimed in the art of silent movie music. Following the legacy of her nine-time Academy Award-winning father, Alfred Newman, she has composed original musical scores for such classics as:
The Gibson Goddess (1909), What the Daisy Said (1909), Wilful Peggy (1910), Ramona (1910), Tom Sawyer (1917), Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (1917), Heart O’ the Hills (1919), Daddy Long Legs (1919), The Love Light (1921), Mr. Wu (1927).
Film historian and documentary filmmaker Elaina Archer has been collaborating wih Maria Newman for the past 15 years, acquiring, producing and mastering silent films wih Newman's original scores.
Musicians:
Sara Andon, flute; Maria Newman, violin; Peter Kent, violin; Scott Hosfeld, viola; Payla Hochhalter, cello; Amy Shulman, harp; Wendy Prober, piano; Montgomery Arts House Percussion Ensemble
