The Loew's Jersey is pleased to announce our next classic film event - the Dynamic Duos weekend, celebrating three great teams on the big screen.
On Friday, November 22nd at 7:30, we present two classic Sherlock Holmes mysteries. In THE SCARLET CLAW (1944), Holmes and Watson travel to Canada to solve a series of grisly murders where the victims have had their throats ripped out. This film is considered the very best of the Universal/Holmes mysteries. Our second feature is THE PEARL OF DEATH (1944), with Holmes on the trail of the cursed Borgia Pearl, and nearly meeting his demise at the hands of The Creeper, a horribly disfigured homicidal maniac.
These two classic features have not looked this good in nearly 60 years. Recently restored from deteriorating nitrate film elements by the UCLA Film Archive, the Loew's Jersey is pleased to present the New York area premiere of these beautiful 35mm restorations.
On November 23rd at 2:00, we present the perennial Laurel and Hardy holiday favorite BABES IN TOYLAND (aka MARCH OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS - 1934.) Stanley Dum and Ollie Dee save Toyland from the evil Silas Barnaby (and the hideous bogeymen) in Victor Herbert's timeless classic. We will be presenting the original, un-cut black and white version.
On November 23rd at 7:30, we proudly pay tribute to Dean Martin and (New Jersey's own) Jerry Lewis. First teaming in 1946 at Atlantic City's 500 Club, this great duo rose to the very top of the entertainment industry. By the time they went their separate ways in 1956, they had become one of the most successful comedy teams of all time - conquering movies, television, radio, nightclubs, theatres and concert halls.
Our feature presentation is ARTISTS AND MODELS (1955) which is considered to be one of their very best as a team. Directed by former animation director Frank Tashlin, Dean and Jerry are transformed into living cartoons in this wild film which features some of the most outrageous sight gags of the 1950's. We are pleased to present an original 35mm dye-transfer Technicolor print, which showcases some of the most saturated comic-book-color cinematography from that era. It will look absolutely stunning with authentic carbon arc illumination on our huge 50-foot screen.
This special tribute will also include original 1951 newsreel footage (unseen in over 50 years) of Martin and Lewis performing in a Hollywood nightclub. Many feel that Dean and Jerry were at their very best in front of a live audience, and this rare footage perfectly captures the spontaneity and manic energy of this great team. Plus, we will have unique memorabilia on display in the Grand Lobby, including original movie posters and collectibles.
The Loew's Jersey opened its solid brass doors in 1929 as the "most lavish temple of entertainment in New Jersey." Once slated for demolition, it stands today as one of the finest surviving movie palaces in the Tri-State area. Currently undergoing restoration, the Loew's Jersey is strongly committed to the serious presentation of motion picture film, and is the only theatre in the Metropolitan Area presenting 35mm prints of classic films with authentic carbon arc illumination.
The Loew's Jersey is located on Journal Square in Jersey City. We are directly across the street from the Path Transportation Center, and convenient bus and train service is available from mid-town Manhattan. The theatre is just minutes from the Holland/Lincoln Tunnels, George Washington Bridge and New Jersey Turnpike. Ample parking is available in the lot directly behind the theatre. For more information and detailed directions, please visit our website at www.loewsjersey.org or call 201-798-6055.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to experience classic films in the way they were meant to be seen - in the glory of 35mm on the big screen in a magnificent theatre. Bring your friends, bring your family and enjoy the "Movie Palace Experience" at the fabulous Loew's Jersey!
