FIVE STAR FILMS: Jezebel (1938) Directed By William Wyler
Not Rated
Long before Gone with the Wind’s Scarlett O‘Hara became an untouchable icon, Bette Davis lit up the screen as Jezebel, a beautiful but willful southern belle. At a grand ball, she is shunned by her peers. Then her fiancée, Henry Fonda, walks out. Time passes. The Civil War begins. Her ex returns, but not as he was. She tries to win him back and does the unimaginable against all odds.
6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS:
NORTHEAST OHIO SONGWRITER’S CIRCLE
Separated by a variety of styles, this talented group usually gets together once a month to share original songs and a few laughs. They come looking for feedback and often leave with something wholly unexpected. John Arliss hosts the creative process as it unfolds, live on stage.
2:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium
