Summary

The June–July 1972 Beaver Beacon announced a St. James Episcopal Church summer movie series in Holy Cross Hall, beginning with Don’t Raise the Bridge, Lower the Water, with weekly showings planned through August 23.

Evidence and limits

The source’s “Wednesday, July 9” wording conflicts with the calendar, so the date is retained as printed rather than silently corrected. The issue does not provide a complete film schedule, attendance, or receipts.

Sources

  1. Announces weekly movies in Holy Cross Hall from July 9 through August 23 at 8:30 p.m., with a 50-cent child donation and 75-cent adult donation; the printed day/date wording is internally inconsistent and the issue gives no complete film schedule or attendance record.
