December Night Out at the Cinema!

On a Sunday night in mid-December, we set aside the holiday shopping and partying for our monthly assemblage. Dinner conversation has ranged from recent news to old complaints, but eventually we leave the restaurant (after leaving a very generous tip) and make our way to the theater.

First up is a little bon-bon from 1906, Segundo de Chomon's The Magic Roses.



And then the feature presentation: the 1931 thriller The Phantom.


And all too soon the show is over, and we wander out into the night. It's mild for December, and we wonder if snow will ever come, but we also make plans for the new year...
