Guest Will Morris (Oscarbate/Music Box of Horrors) joins in on the fun this week for the wild pre-code double of Millie (1931) and Chinatown Nights (1929), which opened at the Davis Theater on May 20, 1931. Topics include the underrated Helen Twelvetrees, queer characters in pre-code cinema, the joys of melodrama, Yellow Peril in pop culture, Warner Oland's complicated brilliance, the transition from silent films to talkies, gangster films, German imports, lost films, Great Depression Era ballyhoo, and more Chicago history than you'll know what to do with!
