Texas Guinan on Houston

She's back — — and Houston's got her! There is only one place to be on Monday, 4 December 2006 and that is on West Houston Street. TEXAS GUINAN reigns as screen queen on that date. The entire month of December is when Film Forum will show their series "Fox Before the Code" when Prohibition Era classics will roll.

• • On December 4th, Film Forum presents "BROADWAY THRU A KEYHOLE" [1933, directed by Lowell Sherman].
• • Plot: Constance Cummings is befriended by protection racket boss Paul Kelly, but eventually falls for an actual Bing Crosby rival Russ Columbo. Ripped from Walter Winchell’s column — and Al Jolson socked him over the (supposed) parallels to his romance with Ruby Keeler — with vaudeville star Blossom Seeley and legendary speakeasy hostess Texas Guinan (“Hello, suckers!”).
• • “Far from wholesome.” – NY Times.
• • Bonus: Fox “Magic Carpet of Movietone” short "Broadway By Day"
• • Co-Feature: "ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN"
• • Film Forum is located at 209 W. Houston Street, between 6th Avenue & Varick, in New York City.
