TCM Schedule for Wednesday, September 6: Women Directors, MPTF (Motion Picture and Television Fund)

Alice Guy

Now this is not to be missed: a daytime schedule showcasing pioneering female directors Dorothy Arznar, Alice Guy-Blaché, Ida Lupino, Mabel Normand, and Lois Weber. And as far as the titles in today's roster go, outside of a film preservation institution or a repertory movie house, I can scarcely imagine anywhere else you'd find them.
