World War I + 100. David Drazin accompanies
HOTEL IMPERIAL
United States | 1927 | Mauritz Stiller
Chicago’s foremost silent film accompanist, David Drazin, accompanies a rarely shown silent film by Mauritz Stiller, the great Swedish director who discovered Greta Garbo and brought her to the U.S. But the star of Hotel Imperial (one of the two movies Stiller made in Hollywood) is Pola Negri, the Polish-born femme fatale who was also a hugely popular actress of the silent screen. Negri plays a chambermaid working at a hotel in Galicia during WWI who hides an Austro-Hungarian officer from the invading Russian army. Of course, she falls in love with him as well. 16mm. 76 min.
Special admission $11; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8; no passes, twofers, or radio winners.
