Above, a made-for-You-Tube Clara Bow clip reel. Below, selections from Film Forum's "Fox Before the Code" series that I'm going to try to attend, in order of priority. This is more of a "note to self" than anything else. For an actual summary of Film Forum's latest rep festival see Elliott Stein's take in the Voice. Cinematical's Ryan Stewart should have something soon, too.

SERVANTS’ ENTRANCE - (1934) "Bored heiress Janet Gaynor decides to “learn to be a housewife” on a lark (in a nightmare she’s put on trial by Disney-animated kitchen utensils), then meets Lew Ayres, a chauffeur with motor design ambitions, even as dad Walter Connolly’s fortunes yo-yo." Tuesday 12/5, 7pm

LILIOM - (1935) Fritz Lang. Saturday 12/16, 9:15 PM. With Zoo in Budapest.

CALL HER SAVAGE -- "Clara Bow returned to the screen with a vengeance (following a well-publicized nervous breakdown) as a Texas half-breed who takes a whip to childhood friend Gilbert Roland, brains the husband she married for spite with a stool, gets in a catfight with Thelma Todd, visits the screen’s first bona fide gay bar, and romps with an excited Great Dane — and we don’t mean Hamlet." Sunday 12/10, 1pm

AFTER TOMORROW - (1932) Frank Borzage. Thursday 12/7, 7:30 PM
