THE MOVIE:
What’s the truth, and what’s just a clever illusion? “Yes or No” dives into that very question with a captivating story that’ll keep you guessing. Starring the fabulous Norma Talmadge in not one, but two roles, this film is a hidden gem of the 1920s. Talmadge effortlessly shifts from a wealthy lady to a humble country girl, showing off her versatility as one of the era’s brightest stars.

We’re thrilled to have Professor Emerita Lea Jacobs from UW-Madison with us to introduce the film and lead a brief discussion afterward. Her knowledge and passion for silent cinema make this a must-see event for film buffs!

I can't sail on Lake Mendota, because it's frozen over; and, I'm not in the Carribean.
Oh, whatever will I do? I know! I will join my sailing friends at a silent movie !!!
