MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW 1937. USA. Dir: Leo McCarey. With Victor Moore, Beulah Bondi. 92 min. Saturday, September 27. 8 p.m. Free.

When Leo McCarey accepted the Academy Award for Best Director in 1937 for “The Awful Truth,” he famously said in his acceptance speech, “Thanks, but you gave it to me for the wrong picture.” He was referring, of course, to “Make Way for Tomorrow,” an oft-forgotten masterpiece of the Studio era. Set during the Depression, an elderly couple’s home is foreclosed and they are forced to move in with their children, the prob- lem being that neither of them are able to take them both in at once. Before their indefinite c/o movieposterdb.com separation, the couple spends one last heart- wrenching afternoon strolling through New York City. Profoundly sincere but brutally honest in addressing issues no one in Hollywood wanted to talk about—aging, the generation gap, loneliness, the selfish whims of family members—“Make Way for Tomorrow” is truly one of the purest products of the Studio system. Orson Welles once said, “it would make a stone cry.” CHARLES MARTIN/STAFF WRITER Rapper GoldLink (right) was set to perform at Psi U on Saturday night until the fire alarm was pulled. 6 • arts THE WESLEYAN ARGUS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 Muslim Women Emcees Dish Out Best of Planet Hip-Hop in Festival By Gabe Rosenberg the Planet Hip-Hop concert capped 13 to escape a civil war, joining the Fro,” a tribute to her natural, chem- fill that dinner plate / We don’t care/ Arts Editor off a day of freestyling, verse-writing, multicultural, multilingual hip-hop ical-free hair (and a better self-love The underdog don’t have no fear.” and spiritual workshops with an exhi- supergroup Nomadic Massive in anthem than Lady Gaga’s far inferior Youssef gave the backing band “Do you think I should end with bition of the talents of its three cen- 2005.
