This showing was the kick off of Hollywood theater’s 100th birthday celebration and very appropriately they started with the first movie ever shown there (5,199 weeks ago.) It’s so crazy and so special to think about people 100 years ago walking into the same building to…

Cute little film. Watched at the Hollywood Theatre (along with everyone else who's marked it on Letterboxd) to celebrate their 90th anniversary. It was the first film they ever played in 1926. It's nice to be a film nerd in a town that supports my niche interests.
