Colleen Moore’s sparkling silent comedy Why Be Good? (1929) captures the Jazz Age at its most effervescent, pairing Moore’s irresistible charm with a knowing wit that playfully upends expectations of modern womanhood. A buoyant blend of romance and social satire, the film follows a shopgirl whose irrepressible spirit collides with class conventions – only to reveal a tender heart beneath the flapper bravado. Why Be Good? will be accompanied live by the Cleveland Photoplayers, under the direction of Eric Charnofsky. Cleveland Public Library — Louis Stokes Wing Auditorium. FREE!
