This week we've got something we've never tried before. We hope you'll come
check out this new experiment:

   The Penalty
   (with live music from the Pointless Orchestra)
   Wallace Worsley, US, 1920
   Thursday and Friday, October 25 and 26,
   7 and 10pm, in Bowman 137
   $2 undergrads, $4 all others

   Lon Chaney, the man of a thousand faces, contorts himself in ways we
   would consider unthinkable in The Penalty. Throughout the entire film,
   his character is legless, which is remarkable when you consider that:
   1: Chaney, of course, had legs.
   2: This was in 1920, a good seventy years before computer technology
   made it possible to fake this as easily as is done today.

   Blizzard (Lon Chaney) had his legs needlessly amputated as a young
   child after an accident. The knowledge of this drove him to insanity
   and ultimately to become the sinister leader of San Francisco's
   underworld. His nefarious plots draw him closer and closer to his
   chance for revenge...

   What could be better than that? Well, to top all of this off, at each
   screening, Kent's own Pointless Orchestra will be performing a new,
   live score for the film. This is a first for us (we think - at least
   it's the first time we've done this within the past decade. Actually,
   we're not aware of anyone doing this on campus before.) Although the
   first time they've done this here, the Pointless Orchestra does have
   previous experience in this area, having played at the Cleveland
   Cinematheque for the Avant Garage Music and Film Festival and for
   local filmmaker Robert Banks' first retrospective.

Come check it out, won't you? And remember, we need your ideas for stuff
to run in the Spring 2002 series fairly soon, so if you have any ideas,
please get them to us ASAP. We meet every week, Thursday in room 302 of
the Student Center; come check it out if interested. Thanks,

        Carl Stone, IFS webmaster/etc.
