$Queens of Destruction from Kino Lorber\u2019s Cinema\u2019s First Nasty Women collection - Duck Soup Cinema$

We are excited to announce the return of Overture Center's Duck Soup Cinema series, featuring our Grand Barton Organ!
Several times a year, we reclaim the silent film heritage of the Capitol Theater with Duck Soup Cinema, which includes an emcee, raffle prizes and local vaudeville-style acts. For each silent film screening, a skilled organist mirrors the actors’ emotions, just as it was done in 1928. Jelani Eddington and Clark Wilson will be this season’s organists, and Joe Thompson will return as emcee.
Duck Soup Cinema will be presenting "Queens of Destruction"
from Kino Lorber’s Cinema’s First Nasty Women collection on Sat, June 1 2024.
Unearth the hidden gems of cinema's early era in the "Queens of Destruction" from Kino Lorber. Part of a newly released collection, “Queens of Destruction” features French enfant terrible character Léontine in shorts from 1911-1912, Rowdy Ann from 1919 western comedy of the same name, and many other characters you’ll probably meet for the first time.
Program provided by Kino Lorber and part of “Cinema’s First Nasty Women” collection of rarely-seen silent films featuring women who challenge gender norms with comic glee.
New York Times critic Manhola Dargis describes “Nasty Women” as “a mind-expanding endeavor… comic rarities produced from 1898 to 1926, gleaned from archives and libraries from across the globe. It is a triumph of scholarship.”
Tickets go on sale Fri, Oct 8 at 11am.
