RATING: PG

PLOT: An adolescent named Max has an active imagination, and he will
throw fits if others don't go along with what he wants. Max - following
an incident with Claire (his sister) and her friends, and following a
tantrum which he throws as a result of his Mother paying more attention
to her boyfriend than to him - runs away from home. Wearing his wolf
costume at the time, Max not only runs away physically, but runs toward
a world in his imagination. This world, an ocean away, is inhabited by
large wild beasts, including one named Carol who is much like Max
himself in temperament. Instead of eating Max like they normally would
with creatures of his type, the wild things befriend Max after he
proclaims himself a king who can magically solve all their problems.

Downtown Kent Historical Highlights:

CITY BANK ANTIQUES: http://www.citybankantiques.com/

In August 1995, Don and Karen Barrett opened City Bank Antiques in the
original, 1911 City Bank Building in Kent, Ohio. Don is an expert in the
repair of American pocket watches. It was inevitable that their hobby
would someday develop into a business, which Karen, a former librarian,
now manages. Their store offers a variety of antique clocks as diverse
as cuckoo and school house regulators to grandfather clocks and pinwheel
regulators. The Barretts are proud to be official Chelsea Clock dealers,
the “timekeepers of the sea” and the last great American clock company.

In September 2005, Don and Karen showcased their expanded shop which now
encompasses the entire original City Bank Building and occupies more
than 1850 square feet of first floor retail space. When it comes to
antique pocket watches, City Bank Antiques is one of the largest
retailers in the state.

ABOUT THE FILM:

DIRECTOR: Robert Mulligan

WRITERS: Harper Lee (Novel). Horton Foote. (Screenplay).

RELEASE DATE: December 25, 1962

RUNTIME: 129 minutes

RATING: PG

PLOT:

Through the eyes of "Scout," a feisty six-year-old tomboy, TO KILL A
MOCKINGBIRD carries us on an odyssey through the fires of prejudice and
injustice in 1932 Alabama. Presenting her tale first as a sweetly
lulling reminiscence of events from her childhood, the narrator draws us
near with stories of daring neighborhood exploits by she, her brother
"Jem," and their friend "Dill." Peopled with a cast of eccentrics,
Maycomb ("a tired and sleepy town") finds itself the venue of the trial
of Tom Robinson, a young black man falsely accused of raping an ignorant
white woman. Atticus Finch, Scout and Jem's widowed father and a deeply
principled man, is appointed to defend Tom for whom a guilty verdict
from an all-white jury is a foregone conclusion. Juxtaposed against the
story of the trial is the children's hit and run relationship with Boo
Radley, a shut-in who the children and Dill's Aunt Rachel suspect of
insanity and who no one has seen in recent history. Cigar-box treasures,
found in the knot hole of a tree near the ramshackle Radley house,
temper the children's judgment of Boo. "You never know someone," Atticus
tells Scout, "until you step inside their skin and walk around a
little." But fear keeps them at a distance until one night, in
streetlight and shadows, the children confront an evil born of ignorance
and blind hatred and must somehow find their way home. Written by Mark
