Cinematheque: The Adventures Of Captain Marvel, Episodes 1 And 2 at Vilas Hall
Before the reign of TV, kids had to go out to the movies and catch serial "cliffhangers" to thrill in the episodic exploits of their superheroes, leaving each segment wondering what would happen next. One of the best-regarded of these suspense-by-installment features was 1941's 12-part The Adventures Of Captain Marvel, through which Cinematheque will tease audiences two chapters at a time, starting this weekend and continuing April 9, 10, 24, 30, and May 7. Friday's episodes, "Curse Of The Scorpion" and "The Guillotine," kick off the film's larger story arc, in which Captain Marvel battles his darkly draped nemesis the Scorpion for control of a weapon known as the Golden Scorpion.
