Room 507
The Caine Mutiny Court Martial (1954), directed by Edward Dmytryk. In this classic film, jealousies and frustrations among Naval officers (played by Van Johnson and Robert Francis) on a peacetime destroyer come to a head when the paranoid and very unpopular Captain Queeg (Humphrey Bogart) panics during a typhoon and is relieved of his post. Film historian Richard Bruno will lead the discussion following the film.
Admission is $3 for members and $4 for nonmembers. Popcorn and beverages are included.

Ethics and the Theater will present a reading and discussion of the play. Substance of Fire, by the talented young playwright Jon Robin Baitz. This deeply compassionate play dramatizes the struggles of a book publisher, who is a Holocaust survivor, to maintain his high literary standards, even at the expense of his responsibility to his three adult children and of the viability of his increasingly insolvent firm.
Cast includes Carole and Jerry Chamlin, Maria Demise, and Craig Jorczak, and we are please to welcome back guest director Nancy Robillard. Betsy Ungar will lead our discussion. Call Suzy Frazer at 212-874-5210, ext. 113, to register. Cost: $10 for members. $15 nonmembers.
