Hello Laurel & Hardy friends,
Our next film show will be on Wednesday July 26th 7.30pm till 10.30 pm at the THE BRIDGE INN on Longmoor Lane, Sandiacre NG10 5LW – in the outside function room.
This month, I’ve decided to take a rest from the agonies and ecstasies of designing a film programme and making the difficult decisions on choosing the films that you might like to see. Instead, for one night only, I’ll let you select the films that you would like to see from a list of 2 or 3-reeler short films that we haven’t seen for quite a while. I’ll even let you select colour or b/w!
On the evening, we will, however be paying a little tribute to Thelma Todd with a selection of one film that she appeared in with the Boys. Thelma Todd was born on July 29th 1906….117 years ago. She only appeared in 6 films with the Boys…but each and every one is very memorable.
There will be the usual raffle, toasts….and yes I’ll show yet another fine L&H based cartoon in the intermission, this one is entitled “Hollywood Sweepstakes” from July 1939 . As always, the event is FREE and all are welcome to come and enjoy the show.
Next month we are back to our usual 3rd wednesday in the month…August 16th when we will be screening the Fox film”Dancing Masters”with Laurel & Hardy, Daphne Pollard and a young Robert Mitchum.
Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday.
Fraternally Yours,
Dave T
