Event
Silent Flicks to Talkies
Developing technologies transformed the world in the early twentieth century. New inventions and innovations changed how people could live their lives. There were new ways to travel, to communicate, and to be entertained! In the early 1900s, Pasadenans flocked to popular movie theaters, including Clunes, the Crown, the Strand, and Jensens. It was all a new and exciting way to enjoy an evolving art form. Film historian and musicologist, Galen Wilkes will take us back in time and explore how the development of motion pictures took us from silent films to the first talkies. Wilkes will also demonstrate actual equipment of the period and show rare and unique films and videos from his collection.
Tickets: Members $10; General $12.
