Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney and Danny Kaye star in the 1954 release, with songs and music by the legendary composer Irving Berlin. The feel-good story has WWII veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis (Crosby and Kaye) teaming up to become a top song-and-dance act and becoming romantically involved with sisters Betty and Judy Haynes (played by Clooney and Vera-Ellen) who also have a song-and-dance act. When Betty and Judy travel to a Vermont lodge to perform a Christmas show, Wallace and Davis follow, only to find their former commander, General Waverly, is the lodge owner. A series of romantic mix-ups ensue as the performers try to help the General save the failing lodge.
The film features Berlin’s title tune that had already become a holiday staple, “White Christmas.” The song was originally heard in 1942’s Holiday Inn, and received the Academy Award for Best Song that year, Berlin’s only Oscar win.
Crosby was a native of Tacoma, WA, and won a Best Actor Oscar for 1944’s Going My Way. He is a member of the Radio Hall of Fame and is widely considered to be popular culture’s first multi-media star, having topped the charts on radio, with movies, television specials and a recording career that included 38 number one singles, more than Elvis Presley or The Beatles.
Doors open at 7
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. Tickets available for sale at the door, or purchase in advance at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen and at brownpapertickets.com.

The 7th Street Theatre’s 11th Annual “Take Your Honey to Hoquiam” Valentine’s event features the 1989 hit romantic comedy, “When Harry Met Sally,” starring Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan and Carrie Fisher.
“Take Your Honey to Hoquiam” is a dinner-and-movie promotion that has grown to include additional sponsors. When you buy dinner for two at any of the participating restaurants and pubs, or make a qualifying purchase at any other sponsor, from February 6 through 14, you will receive two free tickets to the movie. Each participating restaurant and sponsor has 50 free movie tickets available through this promotion.
The annual promotion started in 2005, when the 7th Street Theatre was in its second season of showing films. Volunteer Betsy Seidel suggested the idea that would help the theatre and would also help Hoquiam’s restaurants and flower shop. It has become one of the biggest film weekends of the year at the 86-year-old theater.
The participating restaurants and sponsors this year are: 8th Street Ale House, Al’s Humdinger, The Breakroom Bar and Grill, Casa Mia, Deidra’s Deli at Farmers’ Market, Foggy’s Bar and Grill, Golden Dragon, Grizzly Den, Passport Café, Rose’s Tienda and Taqueria, Sasquatch Pizza and Wings, Simpson Avenue Bar and Grill, Taqueria Franco, Trio’s Bar and Grill, Tully’s, Welcome Inn Bar and Grill and Simply Said Flowers.
“Take Your Honey to Hoquiam” has grown each year, with this year’s list of sponsors highlighting 16 restaurants and one flower shop! Ginger Akers, 7th Street Theatre board member, suggested having a live auction of the two beautiful bouquets donated by the florist. This will take place before the film each night.
“When Harry Met Sally,” written by Nora Ephron and directed by Rob Reiner, takes a comic look at whether men and women can have meaningful friendships without sex becoming involved. The movie is famous for the scene in which a restaurant patron tells a waiter, “I’ll have what she’s having.”
Tickets are available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug, Books on 7th and at www.brownpapertickets.com. For more information call 360-537-7400 or check the website, www.7thstreettheatre.com.

Veteran newsman Bill Lindstrom has pursued the truth about John Tornow for almost 3 decades.

Lindstrom poured over century-old court documents, transcriptions, contemporary news articles and interviews to produce an authoritative and compassionate account. He brings the Tornow family’s life and times alive, describing the daily routines and personal sorrows that led up to multiple murders, a 19-month manhunt and an enduring Northwest legend.
Books will be available for sale and signing at this event. All programs at Timberland libraries are free and open to the public.
