Movie Night At Midtown Books

Friday night, January 9th, is the second Movie Night at Midtown Books. Showing this week is The Hound of the Baskervilles, starring Basil Rathbone! This is not video or big-screen television, but real 16mm film projected on a screen. It's a benefit for the Wolf River Conservancy, Hope House and the Memphis Film Forum. Only a $5 donation; film starts at 7:30PM at Midtown Books, 2027 Madison Avenue, right in Overton Square. You can call 355.1735 or email mtart-at-midsouth.rr.com for more information.

Last time was a fun evening. A couple of dozen folks showed up for The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse, Fritz Lang's obscure German film, so hopefully something more mainstream like Sherlock Holmes will bring an even larger crowd. Midtown Books proved to be a perfect venue, too, and the folks there were marvelous hosts. Hope you can make it!
