The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing The Whistle and The Cry of the Children starting at 8 p.m. Dr. Philip C. Carli will provide live piano accompaniment. The Eastman House describes the films: "one of the most shocking and powerful indictments of early-1900s American factories, The Whistle stars William S. Hart, usually seen as the grittiest and most moral of the early Western actors, as an Eastern mill worker whose life is tragically redirected after a violent accident. The period newspapers labelled Hart a Communist for making this film. Also, The Cry of the Children, an early impassioned plea against child labor. Both films were shot on location in actual factories, showing the period's conditions in realistic terms."

POW/MIA Recognition Day
The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing The Abominable Dr. Phibes starting at 8 p.m. I can't help but get excited by the description in the Eastman House calendar: "it's 1925, and Dr. Anton Phibes (Vincent Price) has risen from the ashes of a 'fatal' car accident to seek out the doctors who killed his wife. Employing bees, locusts, rats, and other nasty things, Phibes stays one step ahead of Scotland Yard and enjoys a revenge of Biblical proportions. A kind of art deco slasher film, Dr. Phibes is a hugely enjoyable horror masterpiece of comically complicated killings, surreal visuals, and some of the most outrageous art direction of the 1970s."
