Oldies but Goodies: "Meet Me in St. Louis"

Bring your family to the Byram Shubert Library for a screening of the 1944 film “Meet Me in St. Louis” starring Judy Garland. The romantic musical comedy follows a turn-of-the-century family in suburban, midwestern St. Louis. The story is based on the book of the same name from Sally Benson’s memoirs of her life in St. Louis, Missouri from 1903-4 – they were recalled and written in multiple issues of The New Yorker Magazine from 1941-1942 (originally published under the title “5135 Kensington” and eventually gathered together as The Kensington Stories). The charming stories, a dozen in all to represent each of the twelve months of the year, are expressed in the films musical numbers.

The screening will be followed by an Ice-Cream Social! All are welcome.
