-- EVENT WEDNESDAY, DEC 16, 2009 -- When I was growing up, it was fairly common for me to watch a film starring Fred MacMurray. After all, he was in alot of Disney flicks and there were the reruns of MY THREE SONS. If my dad checked out what I was watching, he would break out with his "You know, I discovered HIM" routine. Dad's story went something like this. While my dad was a radio announcer in New York City, when he took breaks, he would let the janitor cover the mike for a bit. Well, the janitor was Fred MacMurray and my dad, and apparently quite o few of his listeners (who wrote in) thought he was hysterically funny with his no-nonsense and well-intentioned delivery. |

-- EVENT FRIDAY, OCT 23, 2009 -- There will be a Cafe Cinema tomorrow, Friday, October 23, at 7:00 PM. The film is the famous Busby Berkeley musical, GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933. This tremendously influential film, directed by Mervyn LeRoy tells the story of a group of out of work Broadway chorus girls desparately in search of work, who finally find it, then fall in love, all in the throes of the Great Depression. However, it will not be the story, but the production numbers that will provide, in the words of filmmaker John Landis, "sheer entertainment." |

-- EVENT FRIDAY, OCT 15, 2009 -- This Friday, October 15 at 7 PM, Cafe Cinema will show Buster Keaton's 1925 silent film classic, SEVEN CHANCES. This hysterical film focuses on Buster's attempt to find a woman to marry him by 7 PM on his 27th birthday. If he does, he gets his relative's 7 million dollar inheritance. This would not be such a big deal except that he finds out about the will's conditions on his 27th birthday. |
