February 18, 2022 • 7:00 PM • In-Person

Towed in a Hole (1932) and Tugboat Annie (1933)

In this special double feature, we will be showing two films from the 1930s: “Towed in a Hole” (1932) starring Laurel and Hardy follows the shenanigans of successful fishmongers Stan and Ollie as they try their hand at becoming fishermen – but they soon learn making a boat seaworthy isn’t as easy a task as they think. (20 min runtime)

“Tugboat Annie” (1933) features Marie Dressler as Annie, a skipper on the tug Narcissus. Annie steers through the Pacific Northwest waters and through troubles with her hard-working, adoring son Alec (Robert Young) and her hapless, boozing husband Terry (Wallace Beery). There are plenty of laughs, but also lots of familial strife, until life-threatening danger at sea brings out the best in Terry… and puts everyone’s priorities in order. (86 min runtime)

Seating will be limited to 25. Masks are required. Doors open at 6:30 PM.
