Join the Meadowbrook Women's Initiative open meeting at the East Meadow Public Library to celebrate the nation’s two hundred fiftieth birthday with a Power Point lecture of the most rousing patriotic musical Hollywood ever produced! The Meadowbrook Women's Initiative is a group dedicated to promoting lifetime learning, serving the community and raising funds for worthwhile local causes. Come to the lecture and learn how to get involved with the MWI to help your local community and to see this classic flag waver that stars James Cagney as George M. Cohan, Broadway’s most popular and versatile star. Cohan had input into the script and production and you will learn what HE thought of the final product! Learn how Cagney came to star in this iconic film and watch him excel at his first love - dance. Jim always thought of himself as a “hoofer” and he displays his amazing talent in this film. The “staircase” scene is still amazing to this day. Filled with wonderful toe tapping songs, patriotism, funny jokes, a sterling cast and Jimmy Cagney’s magnetism, this film remains a captivating and absolute delight to this day! Selected film highlights will be screened. Soundtrack music as well as a book, autograph and memorabilia display are included with the ORIGINAL Long Island presentation. Don’t miss it!
