Watch Peter Bogdanovich's "Paper Moon" on 16 mm film in the Alvar Garden. Masks are required. Social distancing will be in effect, and attendance limited to 20 people per screening.
Ryan O'Neal teams up with his daughter Tatum in this very bright, very warm, very funny period film for which Tatum won an Oscar® in her first film role. Ryan O'Neal plays the smooth-talking con man Moses Pray, driving through depression-era Kansas with a carload of deluxe bibles, a gold tooth behind a convincing smile, and a list of newly widowed prospects for his line. Addie (Tatum O'Neal) is a cigarette-smoking, nine-year old orphan who hooks up with Moses and manages to show the master con man a trick or two. Madeline Kahn gives a funny neurotic performance as Trixie Delight, who goes along for the ride until Addie determines that Trixie might come between Addie and Moses - which, obviously, cannot happen.
Screenings will take place on May 15 and May 18.

Located in the Bywater neighborhood, Alvar Library was built by the WPA in 1940 and is a fine example of the Art Deco architectural style of that period.
