Re: Tyrone Power Centennial/Park Ridge (Chicago IL) Celebration May 2014
Needless to say, I'm a bit jealous that I'm on the East coast :-)!! What a treat these events must be. There is nothing comparable here (not even the revival houses ever play anything on T. Power :-(! So, again, you're strategically located Melody :-)!
I will e-mail you as well--it's been a while since we 'typed' :-)!!
Tyrone Power/Park Ridge IL Film Fests/Next Sun Also Rises (spring 2015)
Joanne, being all your research on Ty, it would be grand for you to visit Chicago and attend the next one, probably again in May. I'm sure you'd like to meet Taryn! She's been very generous both times she participated, from talking to everyone to taking photos, so on.
Matthew did talk to Ty, Jr., and he expressed interest in coming in, but nothing's been said about him participating in the "Sun Also Rises" event.
Since Errol Flynn is in that movie, and Taryn said she's connected with Rory Flynn, both ladies might come in for this event. If I hear that Ty, Jr., will also come, I'll certainly post it and email you.
I hope you and the east do not get bombarded--the weather reports for your area sound horrible! (3 ft snow?!)
Tyrone Power/Sun Also Rises--may in the fall?? Update
Due to presentation issues (35mm vs. digital), the Pickwick can no longer show 35mm films, and it looks like Fox doesn't have it converted to the new digital format theatres are using.
They are trying to work this out, so "Sun" may not happen until the fall, or another movie will be selected.
Matthew is still planning to have both Taryn and Rory Flynn come for an event.
Will update when things are decided down the road.
