SALLY, IRENE AND MARY (1925)

Special Features: 100th Anniversary | Live musical accompaniment by Donald Sosin and Joanna Seaton

Joan Crawford, in one of her earliest roles, stars alongside Constance Bennett and Sally O’Neil as Broadway chorus girls searching for love, money and husbands in different ways. Sally (Bennett) is the eldest and wisest, content with her older lover who affords her a luxurious lifestyle; Irene (Crawford) is a hopeless and naïve romantic, easily seduced by the wrong man; and Mary (O’Neil) becomes engaged to a millionaire before a shocking event causes her to realize the error of her choice and return to her childhood sweetheart. The glamour and inequity of 1920s New York are on full display in the contrast between late-night Broadway parties and Lower East Side tenement apartments. (Note courtesy of George Eastman Museum.)
