Silence is a virtue...

... A virtue fortified by tap dancing, the charleston, short bobs, drop-waist dresses, dark lipstick, and fur coats.

During an evening spent at the Harvard Exit Theater, among individuals who reeked of academia, KEXP, and NPR, we enjoyed two hours of beautifully inspired silence.  


We entered the quaint theater with retrained expectations.  We didn't know what to expect from a throwback to the silent movies and 'Hollywoodland'.  We honestly knew very little about The Artist but that it was the recipient of 'best picture' at the Golden Globes.  Lofty credentials to say the least.  And, as time would tell, an honor deserved in every right.  It was absolutely delightful.
