featuring Live
Piano Accompaniment by BEN MODEL from home!
Live Streaming on Tuesday,
December 15th at 7:00 PM EDT!
General Admission is FREE or Pay-What-You-Can!
Based
on a Pushkin novel, The Eagle (1925)
is a thrilling romantic adventure featuring legendary silent screen star Rudolph Valentino at the height of his
powers as a Russian Cossack who is the special favorite of the formidable
Catherine the Great (Louise Dresser).
He spurns her attentions, preferring not to be a kept consort. When his lands
are stolen from him, Valentino transforms into a Robin-Hood-like masked
avenger. Vilma Banky plays the
daughter of the man who killed Valentino's own father. Despite his thirst for
revenge, our hero falls in love with Vilma, who goes the "Lois Lane"
route of adoring the masked-avenger Valentino but disdaining the unmasked Rudy,
little guessing that the two are one in the same. Watch quickly for Gary Cooper as one of Valentino's
masked minions! (USA, 1925, 73 min, NR |
Dir: Clarence Brown)
