There are a couple of things going on that could use some charitable help. Heather Warfel is looking for large picture frames to be used for an upcoming dance project in here words
" The Dance Program I direct at County Prep High School is busy preparing for our annual dance concert. As part of this year’s theme, we are looking to collect a large number of picture frames to incorporate into the set and use as props. We specifically need very large frames (at least 24” x 24” or larger) and 5”x7” frames. The color/style/condition does not matter (even really old or falling apart is fine!), and we need only the frame (no glass or backing). If you have frames you can donate (preferable) or loan for the months of March, April, & May it would be GREATLY appreciated. I can arrange to pick them up from you as well. Thanks so much!! -Heather 201.396.1737 you can also contact her crowhandmade@hotmail.com .

Friday, Feb. 298:00 PM - Now, VoyagerStarring Bette Davis, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains. Directed by IrvingRapper.(1942, 117mins. Pre-dates the rating system, but is suitable for mostaudiences.)One of Bette Davis' most adored pictures, "Now, Voyager" is the storyof one woman's self-actualizing discovery of inner strength andtransformation through love from a dowdy, neurotic wall-flower. Davisgave a masterful performance showcasing her signature forcefulness aswell as her capacity for romantic gentleness. The supporting cast isalso superb. The movie includes the legendary scene of Henreid'sneatly suggestive lighting of two cigarettes.Saturday, March 13:00 PM - JezebelStarring Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, George Brent, Fay Bainter. Directedby William Wyler.(1938, 105mins. Pre-dates the rating system, but is suitable for mostaudiences.)Bette Davis, in one of the best remembered of her many memorableroles, plays Julie, a headstrong woman who loses her fiancé bycreating a public scandal. This melodrama plays out against the film'sstudy of the conventions and gender roles of The Old South. The filmsucceeds because of Davis' steely performance and elegant productionvalues. Davis won her second Best Actress Oscar for her role.7:45 PM - What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?Starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Directed by Robert Aldrich(1962, 132mins. Pre-dates the rating system, but may not be suitablefor young audiences.)The well known real-life animosity between Bette Davis and JoanCrawford was put to exquisite on-camera use in this gothic andsometimes campy exercise in psychological terror. Davis is "Baby Jane"Hudson, a former child star who is embittered by the later, greatersuccess of her sister Blanche (Crawford) as a top movie star. Blancheis crippled in a car accident and Jane is extremely resentful athaving to take care of her in their decaying L.A. mansion. As Janeschemes to make a comeback in show business, Blanche becomesincreasingly desperate to get out of her demented sister's control.Davis was never afraid to take on characters that were unattractive orunsympathetic, and her performance here is as courageous as it isunforgettable. "Baby Jane" has become a cult classic, but it is,fundamentally, a skillful, well-performed nail-biter.PLUS - In Grand Movie Palace style: Audiences for each screening ofthe Bette Davis tribute will enjoy live "entrance music" played on theLoew's Wonder Morton pipe organ!Each screening is $6 for adults, $4 for seniors & children 12 yearsold and younger. Combo discounts are available for multiplescreenings. Doors will open 40 minutes prior to each of the above showtimes.
Just wanted to say again, think this'll be fun. I understand this is not silly robot band shenanigans, as you may have heard of in the past, but very SERIOUS important robot musical shenanigans. These robots apply for their own grants, automatically. They get residencies on the moon. Patrick
