Mary Pickford may be one of the most well known faces and names from the silent era, but her legacy is often not focused on her films, but her executive power, built upon her stardom.

Join us on the backlot for an evening with Mary -- and kick up your heels with a Mary Pickford cocktail from the Heavy Anchor.

In this film Mary Pickford plays Molly an adolescent "inmate" on what was known as a "baby farm" isolated in an alligator-infested swampland. Molly is a maternal figure to the many children in need of care, as they are all exploited by the nefarious Mr. Grimes. Molly and the children provide nurturing for a new arrival, while praying for divine intercession in their lives of abuse and misery, and trying to stay away from the gaze of Mr. Grimes.

This event is on the outdoor backlot of Arkadin Cinema and is 21+

Please enter through the Heavy Anchor and be sure to pick up a Mary Pickford cocktail on your way through.

Since this is an outdoor event, there is always the possibility of inclement weather. Should the event need to be postponed you will be offered a refund, use your ticket at the rescheduled event, or apply to a future event.
