Picture yourself and everyone on your Facebook friends
list at the Michigan Theater, seeing great holiday films
- for free! It's true - see four holiday classics
Sundays from Nov. 30 through December 21, all at 4 pm, all
in the Michigan Theater's beautiful historic auditorium.
Red velvet is so appropriate with gold leaf trim, don't
you think?
The Holiday Classic Film Series will be shown on Sundays
at 4 pm.
Films include:
Sunday, Nov. 30: The Bishop's Wife
(1948) – Cary Grant (typecast as an angel), Loretta
Young and David Niven in a fantasy-drama called "one

it won for Best Sound. (Unrated. 109 min.)
Sunday, Dec. 7: White Christmas
(1954) – Snow storm, failing country inn, unemployed
song-and-dance team: Let's have a show! Bing Crosby, Rosemary
