Tom Stathes Cartoon Carnival!
Sunday, February 16th, 2014 at 7:30pm
at LaunchPad
721 Franklin Ave., Brooklyn, NY
For TSCC 24: Hearts & Flowers, I've hand-selected a group of weird, wacky, rare and funny 16mm cartoons from the 1920s thru the 1940s to celebrate the Valentine season. Bring a date, a friend, or just yourself...everyone is welcome to come on out and enjoy these cartoons. You'll love 'em…
VALENTINE BONUS: We will be showing one of the rare 1930s Race Night Comedies. These short live-action films feature old silent-era comedians racing with numbers on their backs. Theaters gave each customer a ticket with a number, only one of which matches the winning racer's number in the film. Your Race Night Comedy ticket is automatically included with your show ticket purchase--and each attendee has a chance to win a cool prize from our friend Nelson Hughes who recently rediscovered these films!
There will also be a traditional raffle for TWO chances to win a copy of the new "Romantic Rarities" DVD. Compiled especially for this year's Valentine season, the DVD features ten funny and obscure 1920s-1940s cartoons transferred directly from 16mm prints in the Stathes collection. This DVD will also be available for sale at the show.
Doors at 7:30pm. Arrive on time for good seats...
Show tickets are $10 at the door. Includes popcorn and a ticket for a chance to win a cool prize during the Race Night Comedy!
