HER NIGHT OF ROMANCE

Live Musical Accompaniment by Ben Model on the Cinema's Miditzer Theater Organ!

In Her Night of Romance, an heiress (Constance Talmadge) traveling in England disguises herself
to discourage fortune-hunters. She falls in love with a handsome nobleman who is secretly
impoverished. When they spend a night alone at his former estate, they are forced to pretend that
they are married, a situation that threatens to unravel their storybook romance just as it is getting
started. Often appearing as the "virtuous vamp," (a mesmerizing beauty who could be naughty
yet nice), Constance Talmadge was one of the biggest stars of silent movies. She had looks and
comic timing that are as modern today as they were 80 years ago. At the end of the era, she chose
(without regret) to retire from motion pictures and enjoy her personal life, without ever having
made a "talkie." USA, 1924, 70 min., b/w, 35mm print from the Library of Congress
