Stanford Theatre is showing this weekend Bette Davis in “Dangerous,” the 1935 film for which she won her first Oscar.
The film will be shown on Saturday and Sunday, May 17-18, at 4:10 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. along with “Marked Woman” (1937) at 5:40 p.m. and 9 p.m.
These films are part of the theater’s Better Davis film festival, showing her first 36 pictures. The theater is at 221 University Ave. in Palo Alto.
New prints
The Stanford Theatre Foundation made 10 new prints, mostly from original camera negatives stored at the Library of Congress, for the festival, according to the foundation.
Eighteen of the film were shown at the Stanford Theatre when they were released in the 1930s, “but most have seldom if ever been shown in theaters since then,” the foundation says in its program for the festival.
“For more than a dozen titles, Warner Bros. brought unique prints out of storage,” the program says. “In ten cases, no print of any kind was known to exist, and we are making brand new prints, mostly from the original negatives stored at the Library of Congress, which is also providing prints of ten additional titles.”
Most of the new prints were made at the film laboratory the foundation operates jointly with the UCLA Film Archive in Hollywood.
David W. Packard is president of the Stanford Theatre Foundation.
