my fair lady at stanford theatre...

one of my favorite things to do is to watch old movies...and the one place in town to go to for old movies is the stanford theatre...first opened in 1925...the stanford theatre became one of the premiere movie houses in palo alto...

a bit of trivia...more people saw "casablanca" here at its 50th anniversary in 1992 than anywhere else in america...

one of the treats waiting inside is that during intermission before and after the 7:30 show...you can hear the Wurlitzer Theatre Organ being played...at front of center stage...the floor opens up and slowly the organ comes up with the organist seated at position...

here is a pic of our nite's performance...




notice the plush velvet curtains? divine!

my other fave thing to do...is to share my fave's with those i love...especially if it is something new for them...so i was pleased when my sister-in-law and nieces were just as thrilled to go to see this magnificent theatre...but also...for the first time to see...

audrey hepburn (love her!)
one of my all time favorite movies...we all had a terrific time...enjoyed the theatre...enjoyed the movie...(and all the fabulous outfits of eliza doolittle) and the quirky but fun songs...

the next day at a family get together...we were all singing our favorites...
