Co-presented by the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles:
STREAMLINE MODERNE DESIGN
Art Deco Society of Los Angeles President John Thomas will give an illustrated talk on the “Streamline Moderne” style of the 1930s – a reflection of the growth and popularity of speed, travel and technology. From cars to architecture and appliances and even Stephen Goosen’s set design for LOST HORIZON’s Shangri-La, Streamline Moderne defined an era fascinated by aerodynamics.
LOST HORIZON, 1937, Sony Repertory, 132 min. Ronald Colman finds long-sought-for harmony – and love – in the Himalayan mountains. Director Frank Capra’s adaptation of James Hilton’s novel combines edge-of-your-seat adventure with an exploration of what it means to be at peace with oneself. Brilliantly mounted on all levels, from the supporting cast including Jane Wyatt and Sam Jaffe to the Shangri-La set Program begins with a 30-minute illustrated presentation.
