SUMMARY:Western Film Screening of "High Ho Silver"
DESCRIPTION:  Aurora Picture Show and The Menil Collection collaborate
	 this summer to present two free outdoor screenings of Western films o
	n Friday\, July 31 and Friday\, August 14 in the Menil Park at 1515 Su
	l Ross. This short summer series will begin on July 31 with a screenin
	g of the 1952 film High Noon. On August 14\, the series continues with
	 High Ho Silver: A Ride Through TV Westerns\, which will showcase shor
	t excerpts from some of the best-loved classic television western such
	 as Lone Ranger and others. High Noon\, which has been described as an
	 "existential Western\," is an American film starring Gary Cooper and 
	Grace Kelly that recounts the story of a town marshal who is forced to
	 face a gang of killers by himself. Written as an allegory of the cont
	emporary failure of intellectuals to combat the rise of McCarthyism\, 
	as well as how people in Hollywood had remained silent while their pee
	rs were blacklisted\, High Noon defies the traditional Western archety
	pe. Take a trip back to the golden era of television westerns for the 
	screening of High Ho Silver: A Ride Through TV Westerns. The evening w
	ill offer excerpts from when the genre was at its peak and families ga
	thered around the television for new episodes of "Bonanza\," "The Lone
	 Ranger\," "The Cisco Kid\," "The Roy Rogers Show" and many other six-
	shooter classics. Screening of High Noon is scheduled for 8pm\, Friday
	\, July 31 outdoors in the Menil Park. High Ho Silver: A Ride Through 
	TV Westerns will be screened at 8pm\, Friday\, August 14\, also in the
