Moore’s best film yet — hilariously funny!
The last of 10 movie Westerns directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance,” comes to Hoquiam’s historic 7th Street Theatre, April 23 and 24.
The 1962 film, which also stars James Stewart, Vera Miles, Edmond O’Brien, Andy Devine and Lee Marvin, as the sadistically wicked Liberty Valance, shows at 7:30 pm Saturday, April 23 and 2:00 pm Sunday, April 24.
The movie is part Western, part political drama and part morality tale, unfolding mostly in flashback as Stewart’s character sets straight the legend of the man who took on the scourge of a small Western town.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. Tickets are $5 and will be available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam and City Drug in Aberdeen, and at www.brownpapertickets.com. For more information call 360-537-7400 or check the website, www.7thstreettheatre.com.

Sixty years ago, Russian actor Yul Brynner performed the signature role of his career so well that he became only the eighth actor in history to win the movies’ Academy Award and Broadway’s Tony Award for the same role. “The King and I” comes to Hoquiam’s historic 7th Street Theatre, at 7:30 pm Saturday and 2 pm Sunday, May 7-8.
Brynner was an instant hit when he began playing King Mongkut of Siam on Broadway in 1951, in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Deborah Kerr played Anna Leonowens in the tale that was loosely based on the true story of the woman who was invited to teach English to the children of the Siamese king in the mid-nineteenth century. The play originally ran for 1,246 performances. In all, Brynner delivered 4,525 performances as the King.
In addition to Brynner’s Oscar, the 1956 film won for set decoration, costuming, sound and music. The Broadway production was famously lavish, and the movie version was not to be outdone, costing more than 10 times the original stage production and featuring 40 sets.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. Tickets are $5 and will be available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam and City Drug in Aberdeen, and at www.brownpapertickets.com.

The 1984 film was directed and co-written by Rob Reiner, who plays a filmmaker out to document the comeback tour of his favorite heavy metal rockers, the band “Spinal Tap.” The idea goes back to a 1979 TV movie pilot called “The TV Show.” It brought together Reiner, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer as writers and, along with Michael McKean, included a skit about an over-the-hill British metal band called Spinal Tap. Four years later they co-wrote and starred in the full-length movie, which was also Reiner’s first theatrically released directorial effort.
The movie has since won a place in the pantheon of pop culture where it is referenced hundreds of times. For example, at one point in the film, lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel (Guest), utters the now-famous line, “These go to eleven,” when referring to the volume settings on the band’s rather unique Marshall amplifiers. Since then, several companies have marketed amps that actually do “go to eleven.”

You and your family can kick-start your summer by attending six festival shows all packed into one fun-filled weekend, and all free of charge. Attend the Grays Harbor Expo on Memorial day weekend, May 27 to May 30, in Ocean Shores.
One 12-year-old girl got her wish for a castle when the artistry of one of our Ice Carving contestants carved a crystal ice castle complete with towers. Dad got his chance to fly a drone and ask all the questions he had about taking care of one. Eight-year-old Chelsea loves dolphins and bought a glass one leaping out of a glass wave. Grandpa and fifteen-year-old Dean took a ton of pictures of all the hot rods and fancy restored cars. Mom bought a blue heron carved spruce wood bench for the patio. Dora’s family went home with the newest in pots and pans. Finally, George left a note remembering his lost friend and listened to taps being played at the Memorial Day remembrance service.
A home show, with ice carving demonstrations, a hot rod car show, an art show with live artists working, chainsaw carving and auctions, and a Memorial Day Service are all part of the weekend. And that doesn’t even count all the games, the big purple slide, the pony rides and all the great food available.
