Field Trip to Niles Essanay Theater
Thursday, November 10, 2022
Our first program of the year will be a visit to Essanay Theater in Niles. A docent will tell us about the history of the town of Niles, the theater, and the history of the films made here from 1912 to 1916. We will tour the studio and be fortunate to see the 109-year-old projection room. Two short films will entertain us, with one starring the first cowboy film star, Billy Bronco Anderson, and the other starring Charlie Chaplain in one of his five short films made in Niles.
Join the group for this approximately two-hour event on November 10 at 10 am, 37417 Niles Boulevard, Fremont. A donation of $7.00 is suggested. This event is open to non-OHAG members.
