Come to the library for a program on the American musical traditions of Broadway and Tin Pan Alley, featuring the film “The American Musical.”
“Fasten your seat belts, it’s going to be a bumpy night,” is the legendary line delivered by Bette Davis in the 1950 classic, “All About Eve,” the next offering of the Silver Screen Classics Film Series.
The film tells the story of an ambitious young actress who maneuvers her way into the lives of an aging Broadway star and her circle of friends. Davis is said to have alleged the role was based on the life of actress Talullah Bankhead.
The film won six Academy Awards including Best Picture, Director and Screenplay. Davis and Anne Baxter were both nominated for Best Actress, which is thought to have split the vote and cost Davis the Oscar.

Vincent Price delivers suspense and horror at the House of Wax, at 7Street Theatre October 4-5.
The first use of 3D technology in a major Hollywood movie was the gimmick that made the 1953 film, House of Wax, a huge box office hit.
The suspense/horror film is the next offering of the Silver Screen Classics Film Series.
Compared with current 3D movies, “House of Wax” is pretty passé, mostly two-dimensional with most of its 3D shots gimmicks such as a ping pong ball seemingly leaping off the screen into viewers’ laps. The movie will not be shown in 3D at 7th Street Theatre.
Top-billed Vincent Price was an established minor role actor when House of Wax pushed his career into a new direction – gothic horror movies such as House of Usher and The Pit and the Pendulum. Here, Price plays a gifted but ultimately demented wax sculptor, seemingly come back from the dead to wreak vengeance on his murderous business partner.
Tickets are available at the door, online at brownpapertickets.com, and at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam and City Drug in Aberdeen.

Enjoy original songs by Bushwick Book Club Seattle, as they pay musical tribute to the book, “Closer to the Ground: An Outdoor Family’s Year on the Water, in the Woods, and at the Table” by Dylan Tomine. This program is part of Timberland Reads Together, Timberland Regional Library’s one book-one community reading initiative for 2014.
The huge hit TV series “Walking Dead” resumed pushing the atrocity envelope this week, with some humans behaving far worse than the zombies. But for a completely different take on the massively popular zombie theme, why not try the 7th Street Theatre’s Halloween movie, the hilarious “Shaun of the Dead.”
Shaun, played by Simon Pegg (who also co-authored the screenplay), finally decides to turn his rather aimless life around, but encounters an unexpected good news/bad news situation. The bad news is that a zombie apocalypse has begun in London. The good news is that it might just offer Shaun the chance to prove himself, provided he can help his friends survive those who have become, as Shaun’s mother says, “a bit bitey.”
The dialogue is often hysterically funny and the film is loaded with pop culture references. It actually created a new genre sub-category, the “rom-zom-com,” or romantic zombie comedy.

Join us in the Elma Timberland Library Meeting Room the last week of October for a Harry Potter Movie Marathon. We will be showing two movies a day ending with the “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2? on Saturday. Wednesday the 29th we will take a short break from the marathon for a special Frakentoys laboratory, where we will “transfigure” stuffed animals to make our own unique creature creations to take home.
Teens! Come to the Library … if you dare. Learn how to create disgusting wounds, be monstrous, then watch a scary movie and eat some pizza. Creatures must be present to vote on which movie to be terrified by. Sponsored by the Friends of the Aberdeen Timberland Library.

Based on a true story, the 1963 has a group of allied escape artist-type prisoners-of-war in an ‘escape proof’ POW camp. Their leader decides to try to take out several hundred all at once. The first half of the film offers laughs as the prisoners mostly outwit their jailers to dig the escape tunnel. The second half is high adventure and suspense as they use boats, trains and planes to flee occupied Europe.
