Orpheum Summer Movies Series Begins Friday

The Orpheum Summer Movies series begins this Friday, and I am pleased to see the number and diversity of classic Golden Age movies included along with the more modern selections.  A silent film from the 1920's, The Cameraman, will begin the series, and other classic titles include Gone With The Wind, The Philadelphia Story, Casablanca, The Searchers, Breakfast At Tiffany's and The Parent Trap.
