The International Film Festival continues at Westminster College with Richard III Tuesday, April 20, at 7 p.m. in the McKelvey Center Theater.
This 1912 silent film with a score by Marconi, was only the second feature film made in the United States and was recently discovered in a private collection in mint condition.
"I wrangled this copy from the American Film Institute," said Dr. Deborah Mitchell, assistant professor of English and public relations and coordinator of the series. "This is an excellent adaptation of Shakespeare's play, and stars the great Frederick Warde as Richard, Duke of Gloucester."
The event, which is part of a six-part series, is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Mitchell at (724) 946-7030 or e-mail dmitchel@westminster.edu.
