FREE public screening of a new print at Library Of Congress.


Hi fellow Deanna Durbin devotees,
I just wanted to post the Library Of Congress has scheduled another FREE screening of one of Deanna's films. Please feel free to spread the good news. The more people we can get to come the more money may be allocated to restoring more of her films.
Thank you for your time,
Larry
