  1. Flick’s Cafe: 1930s Films at the Central Library Monday, August 31, 2009

    Join the Central Library tomorrow, September 1, for a screening of the 1937 Astair & Rogers comedy Shall We Dance. The screening starts 6:30, with a suggested donation of $1.

    Shall We Dance     follows ballet star Pete “Petrov” Peters as he arranges to cross the Atlantic aboard the same ship as the dancer he’s fallen for but barely knows, musical star Linda Keene. By the time the ocean liner reaches New York, a little white lie has churned through the rumor mill and turned into a hot gossip item: that the two celebrities are secretly married. Significantly, Shall We Dance marks the one and only time the brothers Gershwin wrote a score for an Astaire/Rogers musical.
