It’s A Wonder Life
City Lights Cinema
12:30pm & 6:30pm
Florence Kiwanis and City Lights Cinemas want to help you get into the Christmas Spirit with two showings of the Frank Capra classic It’s a Wonderful Life starring Jimmy Steward and Donna Reed. The classic holiday story about George Bailey, the small town man who contemplated suicide because he felt his life hadn’t made any difference. Clarence the guardian angel shows him the error of his ways. You can see it the way Frank Capra originally intended… on the big screen at City Lights Cinemas and help the Florence Kiwanis Club raise money for community projects.
Tickets are available in advance at CityLightsCinemas.Com… or at the door.
