They were Artspace before Spike Island.

Best wishes to you for these awards, Sian.

Also 5th February, Menjou is in A Gentleman of Paris (1927), as a suave boulevardier whose philandering ways finally catch up with him in this stylish and witty romantic farce. It’s an example of late silent-era sophistication. slapstick.org.uk/events/adolp... @slapstickfest.bsky.social 4/4

On 5th February Menjou is in The Front Page @slapstickfest.bsky.social as sharp-tongued editor Walter Burns in Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur’s landmark newsroom satire, a fast-talking comedy that laid the foundations for decades of screwball brilliance to come. slapstick.org.uk/events/adolp... 3/

On 4 February we see Menjou in the recently rediscovered, Are Parents People? (1925), a sophisticated comedy of manners brimming with wit, charm and emotional nuance. slapstick.org.uk/events/adolp... @slapstickfest.bsky.social 2/
