The Matinee Idol

A rarely screened early silent film from director Frank Capra!

When Ginger Bolivar’s amateur stock company is invited to join superstar Don Wilson’s Broadway review, little does Ginger (Bessie Love) know that recently hired bit-part actor Harry Mann (Johnnie Walker) and Don are one and the same. Don, you see, believes the oh-so-serious Bolivar Players are oh-so-unintentionally funny, and has brought them to the Big Apple as a comedy act. But when “Harry” falls for Ginger, Don soon learns that humiliating the woman he loves is no laughing matter! (Sony)
