Free things to do Monday: Metropolis and Sad Brad Smith

FILM - Metropolis
It may be the greatest silent film ever made (or at least the most influential), but we couldn't even see all of it until lost footage was found last year. Richard J. Klarchek Information Commons, 4th floor, Loyola University Chicago, 5:30pm.

MUSIC -  Sad Brad Smith + The King of the Moon and His Minions
You're obviously asking yourself: Is Sad Brad Smith really sad? The answer is: Probably not, especially since landing a song in 2009's Oscar-nominated Up in the Air. The Whistler, 8:30pm.  2421 N Milwaukee Ave (between Fullerton Ave and Richmond St).

GAY & LESBIAN - Show Tunes
Take a stroll down Avenue Q, have a Spring Awakening or just sip and sing at this homage to the Great White Way. Sidetrack, 8pm. 3349 N Halsted St (between Buckingham Pl and Roscoe St).

ART & DESIGN -  "Off the Beaten Path: Violence, Women and Art."
