   KCET is a public television outlet in Southern California. The station provides a unique brand of educational programming. Every Saturday at 9p (PST), Classic Cool Theater is your home invitation to the movie-going experience as it happened during the Studio Era. They will expand the cinematic listing during the week leading up to Halloween, which makes this worth noting.

  

   According to their website:

KCET is recreating the moviegoing experience from the Golden Age of Hollywood and invites viewers to meet the original artists from the silver screen! Classic Cool Theater is a weekly 120-minute series, which will include a classic cartoon, a feature film, a newsreel, and a musical short.

   Here’s their October lineup:

~ October 6th – Strange Love of Martha Ivers (Barbara Stanwyck, Kirk Douglas, Van Heflin)

~ October 13th – A Star is Born (Janet Gaynor, Fredric March)

~ October 21st – The Last Time I Saw Paris (Elizabeth Taylor, Van Johnson)
