The Majestic Theater has been closed many years, but movies are returning to Tyler, after a fashion. Once a month you can spend Saturday night at the movies. Starting this Saturday, January 15, the Tyler Arts Council is hosting a Classic Movie Series at the Pizza Ranch on the third Saturday of each month. The movies will start at 7 p.m., preceded with an introduction to aid the viewers, and followed by discussion for those who wish to stay.
Admission is free.
The American Film Institute has rated Citizen Kane as the best film of the century, and it will start off the Classic Movie Series Saturday night. All American on March 18, and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington on April 15. The classic Movie Series is part of the reorganized Arts Council's efforts to bring more cultural events to Tyler, while continuing the popular craft shows. To allow members to concentrate on their interests rather than be involved in every activity, the Council has divided into two branches, Craft Fairs and Cultural Affairs. They will continue to do so, and invite people interested in helping with either or both to join them.
