Taking you back to those thrilling days of yeasteryear, the Alex Theater's Vaudeville show was a very satisfying evening. Math mentalists, ax throwers, Dixie land jazz, and magicians started out a wonderful, ecclectic night followed by silent films in the beautiful, historic Alex. Side note: the staff here is very friendly and eager to please. I recommend you check out this terrific venue no matter what the event.Written on Sep 20 2009

The Night Blooming Jazzmen were the entertainment highlight of the evening...and Buster Keaton...what could be better? The Alex is a wonderful theatre, and the folks from the Alex Film Society were great. I only wish the pianist from the Jazzmen accompanied the silent film...now that would've been a show stopper! Thanks again for a fun night of vaudeville.Written on Sep 21 2009

Fantastic acts this year. My kids loved the entire show. My son especially loved the jazz band and the mathemagician. We even bought his book and DVD! So much fun for my entire family.Written on Sep 21 2009

True to the vaudeville genre, the evening concludes on the big screen with Porky Pig in Curtain Razor (1949) followed by Buster Keaton’s 1922 comedy classic Cops plus the Technicolor short Calling All Girls (1942).
From the late 1800’s through the early 20th Century, vaudeville was the common people’s theatrical experience. Across America and around the world, the wildly popular genre featured variety acts of countless descriptions and later included film programs. Alex Film Society’s annual recreation of the nostalgic genre is the only vaudeville show produced regularly in Los Angeles.
