SUMMARY:WEINBERG CENTER SILENT FILM SERIES
DESCRIPTION:A jazz-loving wife kills her boyfriend after he deserts her.\nExperience the glam\, grit\, and dark wit of the Roaring Twenties in Chicago (1927)\, a silent-era film that laid the groundwork for the hit Broadway musical and Oscar-winning remake. With live Wurlitzer organ accompaniment and a restored 35mm print\, this screening offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the original noir-tinged story that first introduced audiences to Roxie Hart and her scandalous tale of love\, murder\, and media frenzy. \nBased on a true crime story\, the movie is about a wild jazz-loving and boozing wife who kills her boyfriend in cold blood after he leaves her\, and how she finagles her way out being convicted. Remade once as a movie and as a Broadway musical. \nSTARS: Phyllis Haver\, Victor Varconi\, Virginia Bradford \nRUNTIME: 105 min \nGENRE: Comedy\, Crime\, Drama\, Musical \nThis show is part of the Silent Film Series\, celebrating scores and classic films. When the lights go down and the Mighty Wurlitzer rises from the orchestra pit\, audiences are treated to a live organ performance featuring Tedde Gibson—complete with a short musical set before the credits roll and a brief introduction to each silent film. Our beloved Wurlitzer turns 99 this December\, having filled the theater with music for nearly a century. The Weinberg Center\, located in the heart of Downtown Frederick\, MD\, offers a historic venue and classic atmosphere for a memorable film experience. \nPlan Your Visit and find information on parking\, accessibility\, and other amenities.

Over the past 15+ years\, she has combined her creative spirit with her drive to empower women and her love of animals to start three award-winning businesses. \nIn 2015\, without any publishing experience or financial backing\, Kim launched Sass Magazine\, a women’s lifestyle and professional publication that celebrates everyday women doing extraordinary things. With both a regional printed magazine as well as a nationally-based website\, Sass Magazine serves up articles on a variety of topics such as career\, wellness\, travel\, style\, beauty\, home\, and more\, as well as special feature articles spotlighting female entrepreneurs. Sass also hosts several popular events throughout the year and recently launched a Sass VIP Mastermind Society for female founders and business owners. \nWhen not at work\, Kim can be found hanging out at home with her husband and high school sweetheart\, Jimmy\, who is a math teacher by day and a fisherman by weekend. They share their home with their rescued animals; a pitbull named Jax and a cat named Maizie. In her spare time\, Kim enjoys reading\, traveling\, exploring craft breweries\, and gardening. \nAgenda: \n11:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Lunch (BYO) & Networking \n12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. – Presentation \n1:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. – Q&A Discussion & Additional Networking \nREGISTER NOW
