While working on his latest film, George finds himself falling in love with an ingenue named Peppy Miller. But George is reluctant to cheat on his wife with the beautiful young actress. The growing popularity of sound in movies further separates the potential lovers, as George's career begins to fade while Peppy's star rises. Rain or shine (screening will move to multiple indoor locations due to inclement weather). Gates open at 6 pm, for exploration of Hillwood. In addition to bringing chairs or blankets, guests may bring non-alcoholic beverages and food for picnicking, or purchase food and drinks from the Merriweather Café at Hillwood.
