Orpheum Summer Movie Series

The Orpheum Theatre has announced its Summer Movie Series for 2014, and although there are a few more modern films in the line-up, there are still a some classics.  Notably absent is Gone With The Wind because licensing of the film was suspended during its 75th anniversary.  Casablanca returns, however, along with Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Wizard of Oz.  One new classic in the series is The Little Princess, a 1939 film starring Shirley Temple at the height of her popularity and in Technicolor.  The entire schedule is below.
