TROUBLE IN PARADISE (1932)
In this masterful comedy directed by the great Ernst Lubitsch, a gentleman thief and a lady pickpocket join forces to con a beautiful perfume company owner, and romantic entanglements, and comedic jealousies ensue. One of the most sophisticated gems of the 1930s. Karie Bible joins us to share insights about this wonderful film, and about pre-code Hollywood.
About the Old Town Music Hall:
Old Town Music Hall is a treasured cultural landmark located in El Segundo, California, not far from the Los Angeles International Airport.
Since 1968, Old Town Music Hall has been showing vintage silent and sound films, and presenting live concerts by some of the world's finest performers of jazz, ragtime, and popular music from the past.
Silent films are accompanied by the Mighty Wurlitzer, a massive 1925 wind-powered pipe organ that has been meticulously preserved so that silent classics can be experienced with live musical accompaniment, just as they did when they were first shown. It's something you really have to see and hear to believe.
Old Town Music Hall is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your generous support enables us to preserve the golden era of feature film and music. We look forward to seeing you!
About Karie Bible:
Born a heterochromatic baby (put down the medical reference book - it means she's got two different colored eyes) with the last name "Bible" on Halloween night, Karie was destined to be nothing if not unique. Her passion for history and Hollywood's past led her to starting a cemetery tour in 2002 under the guidance of historian Marc Wanamaker. In keeping with her love of living history, she gives the tour in vintage gowns from her collection that spans the 1920s through the 1950s.
Karie has lectured at The Old Town Music Hall, The Queen Mary, The Homestead Museum and is also a "Lady in Black" to honor silent film star Rudolph Valentino.
Karie has appeared in segments for Turner Classic Movies, CNN, History Channel and Travel Channel. She was in the PBS series "World's Greatest Cemeteries" hosted by Roberto Mighty. She co-authored the book "Location Filming in Los Angeles" with historians Marc Wanamaker and Harry Medved and co-authored "Hollywood Celebrates the Holidays" with Mary Mallory.
