Outrageousness carries the day, needless to say, when a pair of Aussie drag queens and a transsexual set off in the titular bus to perform their Abba-infused show at a remote resort. Get out your glitter and join us for this season finale.
Meet up with CinemaLit members and friends Friday night, July 19 for a visit to the San Francisco Silent Film Festival at the Castro Theatre to see the wonderful 1928 romantic comedy The Patsy, starring Marion Davies, Marie Dressler and Orville Caldwell.
Before William Randolph Hearst decided that comedic roles were beneath her, Marion Davies had already established herself as a madcap comedienne on the musical stage. Director King Vidor had enough Hollywood clout to defy Hearst and play to Davies’ true strengths and the result is demonstrated in her incandescent performance in The Patsy.”
Prepaid tickets required. Tickets can be purchased at CinemaLit or the Events Office (Room 406) at the discounted price of $13 (cash or check only.). You can also register through Eventbrite for $15.
Prepaid tickets will be distributed at 5:30 p.m. on the night of event at the Mechanics’ Institute café on the 4th floor, or may be picked up at Will Call at the Castro Theatre, 429 Castro St.
A section will be reserved in the Castro balcony for our CinemaLit Night Out group.
