Anything But Silent
WAY DOWN EAST (1920)
Tuesday, March 10th at 7:30 PM
With live accompaniment by Ben Model
D.W. Griffith's penchant for Victorian melodrama reached its height of expression in this silent classic. Lillian Gish stars as a small-town girl who is seduced, impregnated, and cast aside by Lennox Sanderson, a wealthy playboy (Lowell Sherman). To escape the shame, Anna changes her name and starts a new life in a small farming community, where she meets David, an icon of male virtue and decency (Richard Barthelmess). But their delicate happiness is threatened when Lennox arrives in town, and word of Anna's unsavory past begins to spread. (USA, 1920, 144 mins, silent with English intertitles | D.W. Griffith)
