In 1932, a few lucky audiences attended the glittering premiere of The Last Entry, a crime thriller which won an international award for an amateur film. Unlike other films of this genre such as Sherlock Holmes or The Phantom of Crestwood, this film was shot on location in Minnesota using local talent and directed by a local amateur filmmaker. Join Minnesota Historical Society Curator, Jennifer Huebscher, for a screening of this 16mm treasure directed by James Ford Bell, Jr., who would later become the CEO of the Red Owl supermarket chain, and lighting handled by his brother Charles, later the CEO of General Mills.Join us in the Heffelfinger Room and view a display of film ephemera. Screening of the film begins at 6:30pm in 3M Auditorium with live accompaniment by classically trained pianist and lifelong improviser, Sandy Waterman. Beer, wine, nonalcoholic beverages, and snacks will be available for purchase from 5:30-6:30pm. Free Minnesota History Center admission and parking is available every Thursday from 4-8pm.
Support for this program has been provided by the Marney and Conley Brooks Fund.
