Program Description

Event Details

Despite the Depression, the movie industry boomed and the Hollywood musical played a key role in distracting Americans from the horrors of the economic downfall. Author/speaker Susan Gibberman will talk about some of the most popular films of the era and show scenes from these films. This program will be both entertaining and historically informative.
