The Legend Of 1900

The story of a man who was born on, grew up on, and spent his entire life on a luxury liner, becoming an outstanding piano player and thereby earning his living, is told in flashback. This is the first English language film by the director of the highly regarded "Cinema Paradiso" and "Malena." It got mixed reviews, some feeling the sumptuous details and fantastical imaginings overwhelm thin story material, others more willing to be caught up in the magical, fairy tale like atmosphere while they concentrate on the likable Tim Roth character.

Why should kids have all the fun?!
It's been great to have so many kids (and their families) celebrate a special event with a movie party. Some have even made a Little Theater party an annual event.
Adults have also enjoyed special evenings with their friends--but only during the week. We couldn't offer them the preferred weekend evening hours since that was the time when we screened movies for the public.
We've thought about this conflict and have decided that at this time, we will no longer schedule weekend evening movies. Instead, we will make the Little Theater available for private rentals any day or evening of the week.
So many people have enjoyed the scheduled movies and have shared their thoughts and ideas with us. For that we are truly grateful. Of course, we regret disappointing you and hope that this new format will encourage you and your friends to rent the Little Theater for your own screening party.
Your private party
Your friends will enjoy sharing a private screening in the Little Theater. No rush: you can sit around after the movie and discuss what you've seen. You can enjoy each other's company--and have a scoop as well. (You're also invited to bring your own food and drink to extend the party).
 Where else can you sit on a soda fountain-like whirling stool and enjoy ice cream? And it's not just any ice cream: It's Bassetts, Philadelphia's premium ice cream for one hundred fifty years. (Still family-owned. Our contact: Mary Bassett!) Sample fabulous flavors such as Gadzooks, Cookies and Cream, Mango Apricot Sorbet as well as old favorites like vanilla, chocolate and strawberry and don't forget the newest flavor: WHYY's special.
