The Grand expects smaller crowds
SUZY STUMP: CHILDREN’S FILM SERIES >>>
When I was a teen my dad and I made a stop-action film about a woman (me) who returns to the home where a terrifying entity haunted her childhood bedroom — older brother noogies! They still haunt me today.
I need better childhood memories. Maybe I can borrow a few during the Children’s Film Series at The Grand Cinema. The six educational (boo!) and entertaining (yeah!) films will screen at 11 a.m. Friday-Sunday beginning this Friday with The Secret Garden.
Kids 17 and younger will receive free admission.
Here is the schedule:
Oct. 17-19 The Secret Garden (G)
(1993, 101 minutes)
Oct. 24-26 Blame it on Fidel (subtitled/French)

Oh, the 2008 Children's Film Series was made possible with support from Russell Investments, MVP Physical Therapy, MultiCare Health Systems & Mary Bridge Children's Hospital, Tacoma Public Library and Click! Cable TV. Those folks probably appreciate a little mention.
