Kennington Bioscope is keeping me busy. On 6th November I accompanied Monta Bell’s 1925 King on Main Street, starring the ever suave Adolphe Menjou, an actor who endows any woman with whom he appears with outstanding glamour. In this case the endowed woman in question is Bessie Love, who does an exhausting (both for her and the pianist) Charleston sequence. I hadn’t played a romantic comedy feature at the Bioscope before, and the response afterwards was very positive. On Saturday 16th November they are presenting a DeMille Day, and I’m accompanying Male and Female (a reworking of J. M. Barrie’s The Admirable Crichton) at 16.25 and Why Change Your Wife? at 19.45.
