Meeting Guidelines
There is no formal dress code as there was at our former location of The Players, but please dress respectably. We can bring refreshments and snacks, but no alcoholic beverages are permitted on the premises. Also, it is our responsibility to clean up after our meeting and leave the room as we found it.
Our April Meeting
Our April lineup includes our boys Stan and Ollie in a few of their earliest sound films and one of their silent shorts that was missing for the longest time: Why Girls Love Sailors, Men O’ War, Perfect Day, and They Go Boom. As an extra added attraction, right from our pal John Giriat’s collection: Classic television filmed right here in “da Bronx”... Car 54, Where Are You? Our very own, the late Jim Dukas, appeared in 4 episodes in the series. We haven’t run one in over 12 years. The one we'll be showing is “I Hate Captain Block” — a don’t-miss episode!
Title of the episode is “I Hate Captain Block”. We haven’t run one in over 12
