Movie Time, the summer edition, is in full swing at the Charles Allis Art Museum. This week, film historian Dale E. Kuntz will be playing the Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire classic, “The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle.” The movie time ambiance could not be more perfect in the historic mansion. In addition to hearing Kuntz’ fantastic insight into the films, come enjoy the pre-film music. You will be charmed by the tunes of the St. Louis born piano player, Bill. The 95 year old has been playing since he was a 12-year-old boy and is simply amazing to hear. Following in the footsteps of his organ-playing mother, he spent his allowance on piano lessons when she refused to let teach him herself. Not wanting him to follow her path, he still found way to his true passion. Bill is living proof that we can’t deny the gifts and passions we have inside of us!
If you don’t make it to the Allis this week for the film, do join us on August 10th. Dale will be showing Bette Davis’ ‘The Little Foxes.’ Be sure to check out the autographed photograph of the classy lady in the lobby. Movie Night at the museum is sure to not disappoint with the characters and conversations to be found in the Charles Allis. There is always something new and exciting to learn about the people that show up for the evening. Join us soon for a glass of wine, a lovely film and unforgettable conversations!
