HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 20).
You've always been a dreamer, but this year your dreams have a message. Figure out what you're trying to tell yourself and win both love and success. Visualize the home you you've always wanted by March.
Another speaks well of you, to help you get a raise or a better job around April. If renovations are required, do the job in May. Big changes for the better come in June.
Settle in with loved ones in July. Do your best all year, and another promotion's possible around December.
Take time for contemplation and renewal in February.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7.
You and your friends have lots of wonderful plans, but hold on. Are you talking this project to death? Don't get overly rational. A hunch might lead you in the right direction or keep you from making a silly mistake.
You don't have enough of a necessity to do what you'd like for somebody else. Why not offer to take care of a chore that has an older person stymied? For you, it'll be relatively easy.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 6.
You want to try something new, but an older person puts a lid on your enthusiasm. Find out why before you run off in a huff. If you can learn the other point of view, you'll prove you really are that smart.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 5.
You're probably thinking about your money and how to make it grow. You may also wonder if you have enough insurance. Take care of these chores now and ask to take Friday off. You'll have earned it.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
Service is the key to your success, your mental and physical well-being, everything. But you're not getting paid anywhere near enough. It's OK to do a few benefits if it gets you closer to the big money, or some other reward.
Your partner or an expert you've hired has taken control of the situation. You can let the other person manage the operation, but don't put your brain into neutral. You're still responsible for the outcome.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7.
You can express yourself well, but don't get gibbly; somebody could take offense. You can make sure the other person's OK, and that's a good idea. Don't let a careless remark turn into a festering wound.
You need some time for contemplation. How about those books you've meant to read? Don't spend all day with a busy mind. Spend some time gazing out the window or listening to soothing music.
You want to fix up your place, but you and your sweetheart can't agree on how it should be done. Better work on the relationship before you worry about your house's foundation.
Scarpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
Sogittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
You're practicing, studying and polishing your skills. It might feel like it's costing you, but the time you spend on your hobby is good for you. It helps you stay objective.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 5.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
You're creative now. You have the ideas, but not the money. This should be noticeable as you try to make changes to your home. But you lack for nothing. Your imagination is a valuable tool, so use it wisely.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) --- Today is a 6.
You're struggling with something. Is there a lot of noise and confusion at home? You may have to go somewhere else if you can't find any peace and quiet there. Or maybe you can just put your foot down.

Among highlights are Borderline, the tale of a young Black couple who encounter bigotry while vacationing in a Swiss resort; Siren of the Tropics, Baker's own story of a poor St. Louis girl who becomes the toast of Paris as a sultry jazz singer; and Body and Soul, a tour de force starring Robeson as an escaped convict who assumes the identity of a preacher in a small town.
Silent films celebrate Black History Month
today, no more than 100 Black-produced films from that era remain, archivists say — and many of them are badly decomposed or reduced to fragments. Those lucky enough to fall into the hands of film preservationists before being scarred by "nitric melt" are kept in near-freezing vaults to slow down their deterioration.
During the Eastman House retrospective, titled Black Silent Cinema: A Revival and running through Saturday, the Herb Smith All-Stars or jazz trombonist Wyliecliff Gordon will be jamming along in the orchestra pit.
While Hollywood tended to turn Black characters into demeaning caricatures, silent-film classics such as Body and Soul by premier Black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux strove to tell the true story of Black life in a segregated nation.
It has left few surviving films from a flourishing period in Black cinematography. Starting Saturday, seven of the survivors will be screened at the George Eastman House's Dryden Theater in celebration of Black History Month.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Most of the scenes in A Black Sherlock Holmes, a silent-film farce made mainly for Black audiences in 1918, are obscured by a psychedelic collage of swirls, flashes and bubbles of light.
The Associated Press
In the 1920s, especially in Chicago, Black filmmakers churned out showstring-budget silent films with mostly Black casts, some featuring stars like Josephine Baker or Paul Robeson, and live jazz accompaniment led by Louis Armstrong or Fats Waller.
The culprit: nitric acid, a volatile ingredient in movies made before 1951 that corrodes rapidly when exposed to warmth or moistness for years on end.
