Meet John Doe (Gary Cooper) - Screening Hosted by the Internet Archive

For our sixth monthly public domain night, Internet Archive will host a screening of MEET JOHN DOE(1941), starring Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper.

Join us for a tale of the downtrodden man forced into the spotlight, a battle of ordinary people against fascist ideology.

Your $5 ticket includes snacks and any seat in our spacious 400-seat great room.

Arrive when doors open: you won’t want to miss the introduction by film historian Lara Gabrielle. Lara is the author of Captain of Her Soul: The Life of Marion Davies, and is one of today’s leading authorities on silent film. Her work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The San Francisco Chronicle, and on PBS’s American Experience, and she has partnered on film-related initiatives with the American Film Institute, The New York Public Library, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Lara is acknowledged as “the reigning expert on Marion Davies,” and Captain of Her Soul was a finalist for the 2023 Northern California Book Award. She lives in Oakland.

Doors open at 7:30 pm on Friday, January 10th.
