FILM (Option 2)
Don Juan, the 1926 silent film starring John Barrymore (yes, Drew’s grandpa), plays the title lothario being saved from the swinger’s life by the love of one good woman (Mary Astor). We know that Barrymore was quite the lady’s man in his day, and this role did nothing to tarnish that image. According to Cinefamily: “Still, Barrymore finds time to indulge us with one of his most noted skills – he plants 191 kisses on various females during the course of the film, an average of one every 53 seconds.”
8 pm // Silent Movie Theatre // 611 N. Fairfax Ave., Los Angeles // $10.
ART*
The exhibit "Two Lines Align: Drawings and Graphic Design by Ed Fella and Geoff McFetridge" opens tonight at REDCAT. It chronicles the evolution of graphic design within our visual culture. "By developing practices that are unorthodox and nontraditional, both designers compel us to question our preconceptions of what graphic design has been, as well as what it might be. Known for their highly skilled and original draftsmanship, drawing is an integral part of their individual practices. The hand-rendered becomes the basis of their vast bodies of work."
6 pm // REDCAT // 631 W. 2nd St., Los Angeles // Free.
