The Library of Congress Packard Campus Theatre presents “Steamboat Bill, Jr.”
Buster Keaton plays the mild-mannered son of a steamboat captain caught in the middle of the bitter rivalry between his father and another Mississippi riverboat owner. This classic comedy contains one of most famous, eye-popping (and dangerously real) sight gags ever seen on the silent screen. Though uncredited, Keaton co-wrote and co-directed the film which was the last he made for his own independent company. Ernest Torrence, Tom McGuire and Marion Byron are featured in the cast. Three of Buster Keaton’s short comedies will be shown before the feature, “One Week” (1920); which was added to the National Film Registry in 2008; “The Boat” (1921), and “The Blacksmith” (1922). Enjoy live musical accompaniment by Ben Model. 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 “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.
