Once thought lost, WHY BE GOOD? is a Jazz Age delight. The film features Colleen Moore as Pert Kelly, a department-store clerk and Charleston champion who flirts her way into speakeasies while guarding a very proper heart. WHY BE GOOD? made Moore—the flapper-next-door—a superstar, capturing her comic timing, physical grace, and the modern freedom of the Roaring Twenties. WHY BE GOOD? will be accompanied by a live compilation score created for the film by Rodney Sauer and performed by the Cleveland Photoplayers. Free, with a reception to follow!
Parking info:There are numerous garages conveniently located close to the library, including Huntington Building Garage, 777 Rockwell, and ABM Rockwell Garage.
