LIVE MUSICAL SCORE - It
<font color="#202122" face="sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Based on the serialized novella of the same name, this 1927 star vehicle for Clara Bow popularized the term "it girl" with the term "it" defined in the opening as the "quality possessed by some which draws all others with its magnetic force." This lively romantic comedy follows spirited shopgirl Betty Lou Spence as she captures the attention of her wealthy employer, sparking a romance challenged by social divides and misunderstandings.</span></font><div><font color="#202122" face="sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></font></div><div><b>PART OF OUR MONTHLY SERIES OF SILENT FILMS WITH LIVE MUSIC FROM VIOLET CROWN'S FIRST ARTIST IN RESIDENCE: MATT MARSHALL! Experience cinema the way it was 100 years ago... For the first 30 years of movies audiences went to the theater and watched silent images on the screen with live music. You can think of it like watching a music video, but the musicians perform live. UVA Film Lecturer and silent film accompanist Matt Marshall (and sometimes with his Reel Music Trio) brings this tradition back with modern flair and will perform live accompaniment to classic silent films each month, giving audiences the experience of what it was like going to the movies when they were a burgeoning art form. Matt Marshall has been writing and performing music for classic silent film screenings since 2001 and has recorded soundtracks for video releases of Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid and pioneer French filmmaker George Méliès’ Conquest of the Pole. Marshall performs and lectures at the Center at Belvedere, a non-profit community center in Charlottesville, VA and for the Department of Media Studies at the University of Virginia.</b><font color="#202122" face="sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;"></span></font></div>PT1H20M2026-08-02Clara Bow
