Hello dearest chums!
What a treat we have in store for you for this year's Silent Film Festival! Well, several treats actually. We have 6 fabulous presentations to show you in our wonderful Art-Deco DeLuxe Theatre.
There is something there for everybody, from classic comedy to romantic drama, and includes NZ-made films, too - isn't that just spiffing! So do make sure you come and join us. Don't forget about the vintage cars and do please get into the fun of the Festival and dress up in 20's and 30's outfits, or else you are going to feel so out of it.
Sincerely yours,
Ruby
