Mae West: In Palo Alto

In Palo Alto, California, the Stanford Theatre invites you to come up and see MAE WEST.
• • From Saturday January 31st — Monday February 2nd, 2009, movie buffs can enjoy two classics from the pre-Code era: "She Done Him Wrong" [1933] on the same bill with "Gold Diggers of 1933."
• • One original billboard was pretty frisky. "Swinging hips, bedroom eyes, and the throaty growl of an amorous cat — — she just doesn't give a damn!" slavered the hand-colored poster, describing the Lady Lou character.
• • "She Done Him Wrong" will be screened at 6:15 PM and also at 9:20 PM.
• • Mae's break-out screen gem was first released by Paramount Pictures on 9 February 1933.
• • "Gold Diggers" features Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, Warren Williams, Joan Blondell, and Guy Kibbee. Marian Anderson dubbed Joan Blondell's singing voice. Choreographed by Busby Berkeley, this is extravagant eye-candy indeed.
• • Contact: Stanford Theater — — 221 University Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94301 — — Cross Streets: Between Emerson Street and Ramona Street; Tel: (650) 324-3700.

Mae West : 9 November 2007

Come up and see MAE on 9 November 2007 — — in California.
• • In 1925, the beautiful Stanford Theatre opened, serving for decades as Palo Alto's premier movie house. A roster of the best classic films can be found here. And on Friday 9 November 2007, they will be showing a double feature of two black and white films released in 1933.
• • In "I'm No Angel," Mae West plays a cooch dancer and a lion tamer named Tira, who tells Cary Grant "Come Up and see me sometime — any time."
• • It's billed with "Rafter Romance." Ginger Rogers and Norman Foster co-star as people who share a Greenwich Village apartment on different shifts who fall in love outside the place's walls. Robert Benchley guest stars.
• • The Stanford Theatre Foundation is dedicated to bringing back the authentic movie-going experience of Hollywood's Golden Age. Classic Hollywood directors never intended you to watch their pictures on a video screen in your living room (or while jogging). The magic of the movies depends on a larger-than-life image and the shared reactions of a large audience.
