She Done Him Wrong (1933) is a pre-Code romantic comedy set in 1890s Manhattan. Burlesque barroom singer Lady Lou (Mae West) knows everyone in town, especially the men. Unfortunately, her convict ex-boyfriend Chick Clark (Owen Moore) is the jealous type and vows violence against her if she behaves unfaithfully while he’s in prison. To make matters worse, Lou’s boss, Gus Jordan (Noah Beery Sr.), secretly runs a prostitution and counterfeiting ring, and the director of the city mission next door is actually a federal agent (Cary Grant). What’s a girl to do?

Guests can purchase a selection of classic movie snacks, including bagged popcorn, chips, pretzels, cookies, brownies, and rice crispy treats. A variety of boxed theater candies — such as Milk Duds, Snow Caps, Jujyfruits, and Swedish Fish — will also be available. Bottled soda and water for purchase will be offered throughout the event.
