CACHE to Host Summer Family-Friendly Classic Cinema Series

Exeter, Ca – The Center for Art, Culture, and History, Exeter, or CACHE, will be hosting a brand-new family-friendly summer classic cinema series every first Monday at 6 p.m. beginning June 3rd with the 1937 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The rest of the summer season lineup includes The Little Princess (1939) on July 1st, starring Shirley Temple, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939) on August 5th, starring Charles Laughton and Maureen O’Hara.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a classic animated version of the classic fairy tale for the whole family. A princess’ jealous stepmother tries to kill her, but she instead finds refuge in the forest with seven kind dwarves, dreaming of the day when her prince will rescue her. This was Walt Disney’s first full-length animated film in color that took years to make and went over budget. The voices for the characters are: Snow White, Adriana Caselotti; Prince, Harry Stockwell; and Evil Stepmother/Queen, Lucille La Verne.

The Little Princess is a classic family drama about a young girl whose officer father is reported killed in the Boer War. Because her father’s estate is then confiscated, she becomes an ill-treated servant at the boarding school where she was previously a student. Despite all this, she fosters the hope that her father is alive and will someday come back to her. Based on the novel by Francis Hodgson Burnett. The film stars Shirley Temple, Richard Greene, and César Romero.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is based on the classic Victor Hugo novel about a deaf hunchback who is the bell-ringer of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. He falls in love with a gypsy girl, and he does all he can to protect her from an evil chief justice who wants to rid the city of gypsies. The film stars Charles Laughton, Maureen O’Hara, and Cedric Hardwicke and is noted for being the first film ever shown at the Cannes Film Festival.

Vintage dress is encouraged but not required to attend. The screenings will be shown in our upstairs facility, and film discussions will follow, hosted by Aida and Lee Bartoletti of Exeter, CA. Bring your own snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. Please arrive before 6 p.m. to peruse CACHE, socialize, and select your seating. Doors will close at 6 p.m.

This event is free and open to the public (donations are accepted), and it is recommended for ages 13 and older. For more information, visit our website at cach-exeter.org/events/.

This wooden church with a bell tower was an Exeter icon through the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. In the 1950s, the church leadership decided it was time to replace it with a new one, and by 1962, the current facility was in place.

By the 1970s, Exeter was home to eighteen churches. Each one has a story. Each came together around a group of people who took advantage of the freedom to choose how and with whom they wanted to worship God. There are currently ten church communities in Exeter.
