PLYMOUTH — The rarefied world of 1920s championship polo is the setting of "The Smart Set," a rarely screened film released near the end of Hollywood's silent era.
"The Smart Set," starring William Haines and Alice Day, will be shown with live music on Wednesday, Feb. 15, at 6:30 p.m., at the Flying Monkey Moviehouse and Performance Center.
Live musical scoring will be provided by silent film accompanist Jeff Rapsis.
In "The Smart Set," arrogant aristocrat Tommy Van Buren (Haines) calls himself "America's gift to polo," while his female fans think he's the most gorgeous creature on four legs.
The one exception is plucky Polly (Day), who first responds to Tommy's amorous advances by using her car to run him off the road.
