Missouri Historical Society’s ‘The Front Row’ Series To Celebrate St. Louis Theaters And Movies On November 15

Love movies and cinemas? If you live in the St. Louis area, have we got some great geek news for you.

Ron Elz, a.k.a. Johnny Rabbitt (along with a special guest cast), will present prominent St. Louis people and places related to the stage and screen on Nov. 15 at ‘The Front Row‘.

Movie and theater enthusiasts can take a tour of yesterday’s theaters—including Loew’s State, the Orpheum, the Shubert, the Ozark, drive-ins, and more—as well as modern gems, such as the Fox, the Muny, the Stifel Theatre, and the Loretto-Hilton Center. St. Louis itself has taken a starring role in movies such as Meet Me in St. Louis and The Hoodlum Priest. Of course, movies have been filmed here too, including White Palace and Escape from New York.

The city has also been home to celebrities like Tennessee Williams, Betty Grable, Vincent Price, Kevin Kline, Jon Hamm, and others.

Attendees will receive a guide to the former homes of celebs, as well as a locator for 25 theaters that are no longer standing. The house lights are dimming, so sit back and enjoy the show.
