Decadence, Disaster, and DeMille!
On Saturday, April 5th as part of the Liberty’s 100th Anniversary celebration, we’re bringing you a free community movie screening of one of the wildest, most over-the-top spectacles of early Hollywood—Cecil B. DeMille’s Madam Satan (1930)!
This campy pre-Code fever dream has it all: cheating husbands, vengeful wives, an extravagant masquerade ball on a zeppelin, jazz-era debauchery, and a third act so chaotic you’ll wonder if DeMille lost a bet. With lavish costumes, melodramatic romance, and a finale that literally crashes and burns, Madam Satan is a cinematic rollercoaster of high society scandal and high-flying disaster.
Come revel in the sheer absurdity and excess of this rare cult classic as we celebrate a century of cinema at the Liberty. It’s free, it’s fabulous, and it’s proof that Hollywood has always been just a little bit unhinged.
Don your most dramatic mask (or parachute) and join us—if you dare!
