James Cagney broke through to stardom in the lead role of tough guy Tom Powers in the 1931 drama. Jean Harlow provided what we now call eye candy as Cagney’s girl friend. The film has become famous for including an iconic scene of Cagney mashing a grapefruit into the face of actress Mae Clarke, in an uncredited role. The players insisted that the scene was improvised as a joke on the film crew, but the director liked it so much it made the final cut.

A wildly entertaining creative collaboration between TV’s “Opie Taylor” and Obi- Wan’s creator, “Willow” is the next big-screen offering at the historic 7th Street Theatre in downtown Hoquiam, on Friday and Saturday, September 18 and 19, at 7:30 pm.
The 1988 movie starts with a story by “Star Wars” godfather George Lucas about a baby destined to defeat an evil queen, and the rag-tag band of unlikely (and frequently hilarious) heroes — dwarf, swordsman, sorceress and bumbling brownies — who take up her quest. The tale comes to life through the directorial vision of Ron Howard, “Opie” from the 1960s “Andy Griffith Show” and eventual Best Director and Best Picture Oscar winner for “A Beautiful Mind” in 2002.
Val Kilmer and Joanne Whalley head the cast, with the dwarf Willow played by then 18-year-old Warwick Davis, who went on to appear in several “Harry Potter“ films as well as way too many “Leprechaun” horror flicks.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. Tickets will be available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen and at online at brownpapertickets.com.

The temperature is cooling, leaves are changing colors, pumpkin spice is in the air and it’s time to celebrate fall!
Join us for a family day of Trail Races, an Artists Market, Boy Scout cooking demonstrations, Kids Activities, a Pancake Breakfast, live music, Food Vendors, Historical Talk and more for the Discover Lake Sylvia Fall Festival at Lake Sylvia State Park in Montesano, WA.
