LECTURES: Tonight we’ll just direct you to this week’s Talk To Me, Baby feature for all the details on an unusually large number of worthwhile talks and discussions. Choose from the likes of Ralph Nader, Wes Studi, or Project Runway’s Tim Gunn. Details here.

MOVIE: As part of its 1934 Film Series, the American Art Museum is screening The Gay Divorcee for free at 6:30 p.m. at the McEvoy Auditorium. Starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, the classic musical is nominally about a woman who wants a divorce from her husband, but must accept help from her prying aunt and a bumbling lawyer to try to get it.

ART: Head over to the Flashpoint Gallery for Andrew Wodzianski: House to see the artist’s work based on imagery from the 1959 horror film, House on Haunted Hill. Don’t miss the associated scavenger hunt for a chance to win a painting from the gallery, free from 6 to 8 p.m.

JAZZ: Jamaican jazz legend Monty Alexander begins a four night stand at Blues Alley, with 8 and 10 p.m. sets for $25 + $12.50 minimum/surcharge.
