This weekend at the Royal Bijou Theater is a film classic. It is a four genre cinema treat. The comedy, drama, crime, science fiction masterpiece Trapped By Television – starring Mary Astor, Lyle Talbot and Nate Pendleton. This 1936 film was directed by Del Lord.
An inventor is working on his latest creation, a new form of television monitor and camera, but is struggling to complete his invention due to lack of funds. His monetary problems are compounded by an aggressive bill collector looking for payments, and competition from a rival scientist. When organized crime figures are added to the mix, the desperation level rises for our intrepid inventor.
After the movie, head out to the lobby and actually have the opportunity to be on television yourself. WRYL will have its mobile television studio set up inside the Royal Bijou Theater. Walk up and stand in front of the camera and say hello to all your friends in Royal. Don’t worry about being camera shy. Our own Stan Jorgenson from WRYL Radio will be right there with you on the air.
Saturday evening stop on down to the Royal VFW where Tommy Melk and the Melk Duds will serenade you with song and dance music. And what would be a Saturday evening without a surprise from Pastor Dzef and the crew at the Lunch Box Cafe. Homemade TV Dinners will be available at the Royal VFW. Each dinner served in an aluminum compartment tray. Choose from Turkey, Fried Chicken or Salisbury Steak. Each dinner served with mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables and apple compote. YUMMY!
