This class will explore the important roles Philadelphians played in the early days of the movies – from behind the lens silent film producer Siegmund Lubin, and film composer David Raksin who penned the immortal “Laura,” through the contributions of on-screen stars Lionel Barrymore, Jeanette MacDonald, Grace Kelly, and many more. Let’s learn and reminisce about “golden age” television innovations, and meet early Philadelphia television personalities. Our talk concludes with a classic TV trivia quiz and a challenging “Name That Tune” contest.
