The Santa Cruz Public Libraries continues a film series about the 1930s with Tim Robbins' movie about the innovative staging of the radical WPA Federal Theatre Project's play "The Cradle Will Rock." One day after May Day, we feature a movie with a sweeping look at New York City in the late 1930s. The New Deal, the WPA, funding for theater and all the arts, fascist art dealers, communist artists, rising union consciousness, persistence of corporate power, Rockefeller, Orson Welles, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, an amazing ensemble cast assembled by writer, producer, and director Tim Robbins. Need more reasons? Discussion afterward. I would suggest that if we're going to have a big government why can't it fund New Deal style programs now instead of wars and banker and industry bailouts? Come see a Santa Cruz favorite (over 900 checkouts, 300 of this copy; the other 2 are lost or thrashed from overuse) this Sunday, Central library, 1:30-4:30 p.m.
