Orpheum Summer Movie Series

The Orpheum Theatre's Summer Movie Series begins this weekend.  In addition to more contemporary films, there will be a number of classics, including The Philadelphia Story, North by Northwest, The Wizard of Oz, and Casablanca.  Although the series opens tonight with the relatively modern Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the real, classic big screen movie category begins tomorrow night with Gone With The Wind.
