There is no fee for the program. You are invited to bring your own chair and snacks and to enjoy such film classics as: June 20 – A “Little Rascals” Retrospective – everyone’s favorite urchins will return to enchant our young ones again and again. June 27 – “The Red Balloon”, a children’s film about a little boy and his friend, a red balloon that follows his all over Paris (3 minutes) and “Balloonatic”, a Buster Keaton Classic reissued with a musical sound track (20 minutes). July 11- “Minnie the Moocher and Many, Many More”, Cab Calloway’s life story provides a tour through the great Harlem jazz clubs of the 30’s and 40’s (one hour). July 18 – An independent film or film maker, preferably from St. Louis. t.b.a. Remember! Films begin at dusk. Come early to get a prime place for your lawn chair.
