FIVE STAR FILMS: Rebecca (1940)
Not Rated Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Based upon Daphne du Maurier’s novel and set on the wild and brooding coast of Cornwall, Hitchcock’s genius as a film director abounds in this brilliant screen adaptation. The legendary Laurence Olivier is stellar; the rest of the cast is flawless. A man’s memory of his late wife still torments him despite the fact he’s just married an adoring younger woman. The late Rebecca’s glamorous presence continues to permeate his ancestral estate. What is the mystery of Manderley? Also Stars: Joan Fontaine, George Sanders, Judith Anderson.
6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

FAMILY MUSIC & MORE: For the whole family
Spend a Saturday evening at the Library and enjoy programs featuring musicians and other talented performers. Performers are subject to change. Seating is limited. Doors open fifteen minutes prior to the performance.
Foster Brown
If you have not had a chance to see Foster Brown before, you are in for a treat. If you have had a chance to see him before, then you know what kind of a treat you are in for. A naturalist for the Cleveland Metroparks System, Foster’s music is all about the beauty and wonder to be found in nature. From the jazzy riffs to soft and lilting ballads Foster will educate and entertain us with just his acoustic guitar and his voice. Once you get the words to a tune called Scit Scat Diddly Doo stuck in your head you will be a fan.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Multipurpose Room
