donation

Come join your neighbors to watch the 1950 Technicolor, musical-comedy “Tea for Two,” starring Doris Day and Gordon MacRae, while enjoying the ambiance of inside the 1896 one-room Central School.

The movie will be shown in the Mount Prospect Historical Society’s schoolhouse at 103 S. Maple St., on Wednesday, March 21. The building will open at 6 p.m. and the movie starts at 6:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided. The movie lasts approximately 1-1/2 hours.

Set in the Roaring 20s, “Tea for Two” features Doris Day as Nanette Carter, a socialite with show business aspirations. The movie and music is loosely based on the 1925 stage musical “No, No, Nanette.” The film was the first in which Doris Day received top billing and marked the first time she danced on-screen.

While there is no cost to enjoy the movie, donations are graciously accepted to support the many educational projects of the Society and help to pay for upkeep on the 1906 Dietrich Friedrichs house museum and the 1896 one-room Central Schoolhouse. For more information about contributing to the Society, phone 847/392-9006.
