Here’s a movie everyone will enjoy!

What is that man doing dangling from the hands of a giant clock atop a tall, tall building?

You’ve seen the image a hundred times—now is your chance to find out the story—and what happens. Believe it or not, “Safety Last” is a love story, as well as a comedy.

Yes, it’s Harold Lloyd, who along with Charley Chaplin and Buster Keaton, was one of the kings of silent comedy. “Safety Last” is celebrating its 90th birthday, and you’re invited. You’ll be riveted as Lloyd, in his trademark straw hat, round glasses, and befuddled look climbs up, up, and up, with an atmospheric piano accompaniment.

You’ll always remember this movie. Don’t miss it!

“Safety Last” shows once only on Thursday, November 14 at 7 p.m. All seats are $8.00.

Novelist William Peter Blatty based his best-seller on the last known Catholic-sanctioned exorcism in the United States. Blatty transformed the little boy in the 1949 incident into a little girl named Regan, played by 14-year-old Linda Blair. Suddenly prone to fits and bizarre behavior, Regan proves quite a handful for her actress-mother, Chris MacNeil (played by Ellen Burstyn, although Blatty reportedly based the character on his next-door neighbor Shirley MacLaine). When Regan gets completely out of hand, Chris calls in young priest Father Karras (Jason Miller), who becomes convinced that the girl is possessed by the Devil and that they must call in an exorcist: namely, Father Merrin (Max von Sydow). His foe proves to be no run-of-the-mill demon, and both the priest and the girl suffer numerous horrors during their struggles.

Re: Sundar Shadi’s Gifts, Free Screening, October 20, 11AM

Mr. Shadi actually began his display in a vacant lot next to his house on the Arlington. It was only after he passed that his display appeared at the PG&E right-of-way at Schmidt and Moeser. Our apologies for the mis-information.
