Occupancy restrictions on 2nd floor lifted!

Poetry by the Bay at San Pablo Lodge #43

Yay – Hooray! We’ve passed the fire inspection for use of the 2nd floor, We can now have 200 people in our grand ballroom rather than the previous restriction of 49. We no longer need to get a special waiver from VFD to have big events on the 2nd floor. (Still LOTS to do for the upper floors’ fire code and elevator access.) Special Thanks to Santa Rosa #53 for making this happen.

Chicago Tribune
Made in 1931, at the dawn of the sound era, “M” is a true spine-chiller. Beside it, almost all other movies about serial killers seem like child’s play. To explain the film’s central position, we need only note that Lang was the moviemaker from whom Alfred Hitchcock learned suspense and Luis Bunuel learned how to shock.
Roger Ebert * * * *
“M” was Lang’s first sound picture, and he was wise to use dialogue so sparingly. Many early talkies felt they had to talk all the time, but Lang allows his camera to prowl through the streets and dives, providing a rat’s-eye view. One of the film’s most spectacular shots is utterly silent, as the captured killer is dragged into a basement to be confronted by the city’s assembled criminals, and the camera shows their faces: hard, cold, closed, implacable.
