Alice Guy Schedule at Whitney

A busy month...after the fun performance of ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED at the Museum of Arts and Design, with audience participation in the SFX department, and NANOOK OF THE NORTH at MoMA, the museum tour continues with the opening of the Whitney's major retrospective of the work of Alice Guy Blaché.

Here are the programs I will be playing for, they are all of great interest to anyone studying early silent film, narrative film, period dance, and full of humor and whimsy.
I hope many people will drop by.
