Lincoln Theater is pleased to launch its second Stories to Screen Series, this time focusing on “kid power” starting this Saturday, March 25 at 10 a.m. with the 1943  classic “Lassie Come Home” starring Roddy McDowall. Copies of the book on which the film is based is available for free, as is the film, and can be picked up at the Lincoln Theater office.  A discussion about the book and film will be held at 9:30  before the screening the movie.

In “Lassie Come Home,” hard times have come for Carraclough family and they are forced to sell their dog to the rich Duke of Rudling. However, Lassie, the dog, is unwilling to leave the young Carraclough boy and sets out on the long and dangerous journey to rejoin him.

Other books and films in the series will include: “National Velvet” (1944) on Saturday,  April 22; “Heidi” (1937) on Saturday, May 6; and “Tom Sawyer” (1973) on Saturday, June 3.  All screenings begin with a conversation at 9:30 a.m. and film at 10 a.m.  A limited supply of each of the books are currently available for pick up.  It is not necessary to read the book to come and enjoy the film. Both the book and movie are free and made possible through the generosity of a Lincoln Theater member.
