Film historian, lecturer and preservationist Eric Grayson will screen “The Man on the Flying Trapeze,” a 1935 film starring W.C. Fields and Kathleen Howard, at the Garfield Park Arts Center, 2432 Conservatory Drive, at 7 p.m. Saturday.
Fields plays Ambrose Woolfinger, whose rotten day starts when two burglars get drunk on his homemade applejack in his basement. He is forced to handle the situation and winds up being arrested for distilling liquor without a license.
This is to the delight of his wife (Howard) and ungrateful brother-in-law (Grady Sutton). Woolfinger loses his job, gets multiple parking tickets, and things keep getting worse.
Admission is $5; concessions are $1. Info 327-7135. Visit www.drfilm.net/blog for more information on Grayson’s work.
