BOOKED FOR MURDER:
Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson
At the 1893 World’s Fair, one of the nation’s first serial killers lured young women into a “murder castle” of his own devising. This true crime telling contrasts the ghastly happenings in H.H. Holmes’ labyrinth of terror with accounts from World’s Fair architect Daniel Burnham.

THE LAKEWOOD PUBLIC CINEMA: The Grapes of Wrath
(1940) Directed by John Ford Not Rated
So much of John Steinbeck’s master novel had to be left out of this picture—and yet it’s there. John Ford tells the story of the Joad family, hard-working Americans blown away by the dust, with one true image after another. You can see it in the long, hollow faces of the wandering workers and hear it in the whistling of the wind. Even Steinbeck was swept away.
6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium
