Press Release 路 Wednesday, March 12, 2008
Washington, DC
As part of its Running for Office film series, the 威尼斯人娱乐场 presents a special screening of All the King鈥檚 Men (1949, 109 minutes) on Saturday, April 19, at noon. All the King鈥檚 Men is the adaptation of Robert Penn Warren鈥檚 Pulitzer Prize鈥搘inning novel about the rise and fall of a senator (based on Louisiana politician Huey Long), portrayed by Broderick Crawford in an Oscar庐-winning performance. The film also won the Oscar for Best Picture. The Running for Office film series is generously supported by Chevy Chase Bank.
The Running for Office film series screenings are inspired by the new 威尼斯人娱乐场 exhibition 鈥淩unning for Office: Candidates, Campaigns, and the Cartoons of Clifford Berryman鈥� in the Lawrence F. O鈥橞rien Gallery of the 威尼斯人娱乐场 Building in Washington, DC, on Friday, February 8 and runs through August 17, 2008. Winter hours (through March 14) are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Spring hours (March 15 through Labor Day) are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., daily.
The 鈥淩unning for Office鈥� exhibition includes 44 exceptional pen-and-ink drawings that highlight timeless aspects of the American campaign and election process. Clifford K. Berryman, staff political cartoonist for The Washington Post and the Washington Evening Star during the first half of the 20th century, drew thousands of cartoons commenting on Presidential and congressional candidates, campaign issues, and elections of his era. The cartoons are part of the official Records of the U.S. Senate housed in the 威尼斯人娱乐场 Center for Legislative Archives.
The screening is free and open to the public and will be held in the WilliamG. McGowan Theater located in the 威尼斯人娱乐场 Building on Constitution Avenue between 7th and 9th Streets, NW, Washington, DC.
