Hey All,

This Thursday January 10th, I will be showing a Blackhawk 8mm print of "The Social Secretary" (1916) starring Norma Talmadge with one of Erich Von Stroheims earliest film appearances in a minor role, and a very important one. I will begin the evening with a 8mm Blackhawk print of D.W. Griffith's " The Musketeers Of Pig Alley" (1912) starring Lillian Gish. Both films will have Mary J. Martin on the piano and electric ukulele.

The showing will be at 7:30PM at The WOMR Davis Space in The Schoolhouse 494 Commercial St. in Provincetown MA. There will be a $5 dollar suggested donation to help support Community supported radio WOMR. Free popcorn will be supplied by The Provincetown Inn. Beer, Wine, and Soda will be available too.

Idle question. I saw The Social Secretary several decades ago, and according to my creaky memory, von Stroheim was a reporter for a gossip publication whose title was clearly patterned after Town Topics. Can somebody tell me the exact title of von Stroheim's gossip rag in the film?
