The Library of Congress Packard Campus Theatre presents “Kiki”
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.

The Library of Congress Packard Campus Theatre presents “Being There”
Peter Sellers stars as Chance, a simple-minded gardener whose only contact with the outside world is through television. When his millionaire employer dies, Chance is set adrift on the streets of Washington D.C. where he soon becomes identified as “Chauncey Gardner,” whose simple adages are interpreted as profound insights. Hal Ashby (“Harold and Maude”) directed this provocative satire with an understatement to match the subtlety and precision of Sellers’ Academy Award-nominated performance. Shirley MacLaine and Melvyn Douglas (Oscar winner for Best Actor in a Supporting Role), also star in the film. “Being There” was added to the National Film Registry in 2015. “The Case of the Mukkinese Battle-Horn” (1956), an outrageous 30 minute British comedy short starring Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan, both veterans of “The Goon Show,” will precede the feature. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA.

The Library of Congress Packard Campus Theatre presents “How to Marry a Millionaire”

William Powell, Rory Calhoun, David Wayne, Alex D’Arcy, Fred Clark and Cameron Mitchell round out the ensemble cast as prospective “catches” for the three women. Written and produced by Nunnaly Johnson, “How to Marry a Millionaire” was the first film ever to be photographed in the new CinemaScope wide-screen process, although it was the second Cinemascope film to be released, after “The Robe.” Jean Negulesco directed this romantic comedy which was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Film of the year. Negulesco made his reputation at Warner Brothers by directing short subjects, two of which will be screened before the feature: “At the Stroke of Twelve” (1941) based on a short story by Damon Runyon, and “Jan Garber and His Orchestra” (1941). Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA.
