DESCRIPTION:\n	Introduced by Richard Koszarski \n	\n	Live music by Donald S
 osin \n	\n	\n	Despite the release of a handful of feature-length films\, m
 ost movies in 1912 still lasted only ten or fifteen minutes. Thousands of 
 motion picture theaters across the country did their best to offer a balan
 ced program of fiction and non-fiction\, comedy and melodrama\, with most 
 of them changing the bill every single day. \n	\n	\n	Program runs approxim
 ately 70 minutes. \n	\n	All films from 1912. \n	\n	\n	A Vitagraph Romance 
 \n	\n	Dir. James Young. 16mm\, The Museum of Modern Art. Clara Kimball You
 ng is among the stars in this early behind-the-scenes showcase\, which was
  designed to give movie fans a taste of what life in the big Brooklyn stud
 io was like. \n	\n	\n	How a Mosquito Operates \n	\n	Dir. Winsor McCay. 35m
 m\, Library of Congress. Originally intended to accompany McCay’s live vau
 deville act\, this bit of nightmarish surrealism from the master of screen
  animation is astonishing\, hilarious\, and surprisingly bloody. \n	\n	\n	
 Flo’s Discipline \n	\n	Dir. Harry Solter. 35mm\, Library of Congress. Univ
 ersal-Victor. Florence Lawrence—promoted as America’s first film star—has 
 trouble with her boarding school charges in this Coytesville\, New Jersey\
 , romantic comedy. One of the earliest releases from the newly organized U
 niversal Film Manufacturing Company. \n	\n	\n	Winter Visit to Central Park
  \n	\n	35mm\, Library of Congress. Edison. This comprehensive bit of repor
 tage seems to show nearly everything in and around the park\, from the Met
  to the Dakota\, as well as the zoo\, the Arsenal\, and Cleopatra’s Needle
 —with time out for roller hockey and some ice-skating on “the frozen lake.
 ” \n	\n	\n	The Land Beyond the Sunset \n	\n	Dir. Harold Shaw. 35mm\, Georg
 e Eastman House. Edison. When the Fresh Air Fund takes newsboy Joe out of 
 the slums for a day in the country\, the results are hardly what anyone mi
 ght expect. A remarkably ambivalent take on social activism for a film app
 arently sponsored by one of New York’s great social welfare agencies. \n	
 \n	\n	An Unexpected Reception \n	\n	16mm\, Library of Congress. Pathé. Pro
 bably shot somewhere near Pathé’s Jersey City studio\, this rude French-st
 yle farce makes good use of two incredibly tenacious pit bulls. Mack Senne
 tt would model American slapstick comedy on films like this. \n	\n	\n	A Gr
 ocery Clerk’s Romance \n	\n	Dir. Mack Sennett. Digital projection. Keyston
 e. The first few Keystones were shot in New York and New Jersey\, just day
 s before Mack and Mabel got on the train for Hollywood. This (literally) a
 narchic Ford Sterling comedy was made in and around Rambo’s Tavern in Fort
  Lee\, where Sennett had been working with D. W. Griffith’s Biograph compa
 ny for the past two years. \n	\n	\n	\n	Free with Museum admission on a fir
 st-come\, first-served basis. Museum members may reserve tickets in advanc
 e by calling 718 777 6800. For more information about becoming a Museum me
 mber and to join online\, please click here. \n	\n\n
