Children of Divorce (1927)
7:30pm
Adobe Chapel, 3963 Conde Street in Old Town San Diego
 A scheming socialite steals her best friend's beau, bringing misery to everyone concerned. Can these "children of divorce" manage to avoid the mistakes their parents made?
Directed by Frank Lloyd with uncredited retakes shot by Josef von Sternberg, Children of Divorce stars Clara Bow, Esther Ralston, and Gary Cooper in his first lead role.
"Children of Divorce is a well-realized, elegant drama, which offers more than one meaningful social message and terrific performances. Although, I warn, you may be distracted by a young Gary Cooper who is simply stunning. Esther Ralston is quite good as Jean, but it's Clara Bow's performance that's particularly memorable. Bow brings dramatic chops to compliment her usual exuberance in this one."—Aurora, Flicker Alley.
"Children of Divorce is an utter delight, especially if you enjoy ogling the preternaturally attractive visages of [Clara] Bow and a young Gary Cooper."—Dusty Somers, World Cinema Paradise.
