STEPHENVILLE, Texas — Tarleton State University’s W.K. Gordon Center will present the Cary Grant classic film Topper at 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12, as part of the Night at the Opera House series.
The 1937 supernatural comedy is directed by Norman Z. McLeod and features Constance Bennett. A huge hit with audiences in summer 1937, the family-friendly movie tells of a stuffy, stuck-in-his-ways man haunted by the ghosts of a fun-loving married couple.
Admission and intermission snacks are free; however, space is limited and reservations are suggested. To reserve seats, call 254-968-1886 or email [email protected].
