The Library of Congress Packard Campus Theatre presents “Kiki”

Saturday, September 24, 2016 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

One of the most famous actresses of the silent era, the elegant and glamorous Norma Talmage was known primarily for dramatic roles. Sadly, few of her films are available for viewing today, but this Library of Congress restoration of a sparkling French showbiz farce displays Talmadge’s talent for comedy. As the title character Kiki, a high-spirited Parisian gamine, she is determined to become a chorus girl and win the heart of the Follies manager Victor Renal (Ronald Colman) — even if it means performing some rather unladylike stunts. Two one-reel Vitagraph dramas starring Norma Talmadge will precede the feature: “His Official Appointment” (1912) and “Under the Daisies; or, As a Tale That Is Told” (1913). Ben Model will provide live musical accompaniment for the program. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA.
