<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Quasar Wut-Wut, “Chicago’s #3 Band,” will appear in person to perform its original score to a silent melodrama that was thought lost until a complete, partially-tinted print turned up in The Chicago Film
Archives in 2020. This 99-year-old Universal production has since been digitally preserved by The CFA, and the four members of Quasar Wut-Wut (who brought it back to life during the movie’s 21st-century premiere last September at Chicago’s Gene Siskel Film
Center) are now bringing it to Cleveland! <i>The First Degree</i> tells of a man who is summoned to testify before a Grand Jury in a sheep-stealing case in which he was the victim. His proximity to the law prompts him to come clean on a different crime that
he himself committed: the murder of his cruel half-brother, who tormented him for years (seen in an extended back story). Cleveland revival premiere. DCP. 65 min.
<i>Special admission $15; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $12. No passes or twofers.</i> The First Degree
<i>provided courtesy of The Chicago Film Archives. Promotional support provided by the Cleveland Silent Film Festival.
