The Issaquah Arts Commission & Great Train Movies
The Issaquah Arts Commission is hosting its second film series starting this Saturday, January 9th, 7:00 p.m. at the Issaquah Depot. The theme this time around is “Great Train Movies,” in honor of (you guessed it!) the Issaquah Depot. Join us for a viewing of “Twentieth Century,” starring John Barrymore and Carole Lombard. Oscar Jaffe (Barrymore) is a successful Broadway director and Lily Garland (Lombard) is one of his stars. She’s left him for bigger things in Hollywood; he wants her back, and they meet (accidentally, of course) on the Twentieth Century Limited bound for New York City. Hilarity ensues, in ways unique to Depression-era films. IMDb.com calls this 1934 movie a “first-class screwball comedy” — a perfect antidote to the gray skies of January!
