STG Presents Trader Joe's Silent Movie Mondays

STG presents Trader Joe's Silent Movie Mondays First Academy Awards at The Paramount Theatre featuring TEMPEST on January 23rd, STREET ANGEL on January 30th, THE LAST COMMAND on February 6th, and ending with WINGS on February 13th. This all-classic film series, First Oscars, is accompanied by live music from the historic Mighty Wurlitzer organ, one of the last three remaining organs of its kind to reside in its original environment, played by critically acclaimed organist Jim Riggs.

The Academy's first president, silent film actor Douglas Fairbanks, handed out the statuettes to winners, who included Janet Gaynor for Best Actress, for three different films including STREET ANGEL. German-born Emil Jannings won for Best Actor for two films including THE LAST COMMAND. Best Picture honors went to WINGS, the World War I drama directed by William Wellman. Even art direction had its own category, with TEMPEST, a lavish and beautifully produced Hollywood confection bringing home the award. While the films that won that year remain well regarded, many have virtually disappeared from sight. This silent film series First Academy Awards returns these statue winners to their original glory by presenting them once again on the big screen!
