Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe’s classic film “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” kicks off the Winter 2025 Historic Fox Theatre’s Classic Film Series tonight.
The lineup includes 12 films chosen by Historic Fox Theatre Executive Director Josh Davies.
“We try to offer a wide variety of films,” Davies said. “People are interested in newer films that are not necessarily ‘classics.’ They are favorites. I get suggestions. We are trying to bring something for everyone.”
“I chose ‘Nashville’ because this is its 50th anniversary. And a lot of people have been asking for ‘Ghost.'”
Davies thanked PrairieStar Health Center for sponsoring the Classic Film Series.
“We call PrairieStar ‘co-presenters’ because they have been wonderful in helping us offer the Kids’ Summer Film Series, and they jumped right into sponsoring the Classic Film Series since the beginning,” he said.
The classic films will run on Thursdays at 7 p.m. and the following Saturdays at 2.
The Classic Film Series lineup and dates are:
“Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” Feb 6 and 8. Starring Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe, who portray Lorelei Lee and Dorothy Shaw, gold-digging showgirls who travel to Europe, creating chaos and finding (or not finding) love and riches.
“A League of Their Own” Feb 20 and 22. Starring Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Lori Petty, Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell, it tells the story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which formed in 1943 while the men were away at war, proving their skills and resilience.
“There Will Be Blood” Feb 27 and Mar 1. Daniel Day-Lewis won an Oscar for portraying a ruthless oil prospector in the early 20th century who builds an empire but succumbs to greed and corruption.
“Walt Disney’s Lady and The Tramp” Mar 6 and 8. The classic Disney animated film introduces Lady, a pampered cocker spaniel and Tramp, a streetwise mutt, who fall in love amidst adventures and challenges in a heartwarming tale.
“12 Angry Men” Mar 13 and 15. Starring Henry Fonda, 12 men debate the fate of a young man accused of murder, revealing their biases and struggles. The movie won Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay at the Academy Awards.
“Ghost” Mar 20 and 22. Patrick Swayze stars as a murdered man whose spirit tries to protect his girlfriend (Demi Moore) and uncover the truth behind his death with the help of a psychic, portrayed by Whoopie Goldberg, who took home the Best Supporting Actress Oscar.
“M*A*S*H” Mar 27 and 29. Based on the book, during the Korean War, army doctors use humor and hijinks to cope with the horrors of war in a mobile army surgical hospital. The movie spawned a hugely successful TV series that ran for 11 years and whose series finale still holds the record for the most-watched television episode of all time.
“Walk The Line” April 17 and 19. The story of Johnny Cash’s rise from poverty to country music stardom, battling addiction and finding love with June Carter. Reese Witherspoon won the Best Actress Academy Award for her portrayal of June.
“Batman” April 24 and 26. In Gotham City, a masked vigilante battles crime and confronts his archenemy, The Joker. The movie stars Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson and was directed by Tim Burton.
“When Harry Met Sally” May 8 and 10. Over the decade, two friends, played by Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, meet repeatedly and debate whether men and women can truly just be friends.
“Nashville” May 22 and 24. Interwoven stories of country music stars and aspiring artists collide during a pivotal election week. Directed by Robert Altman, the movie’s star-studded cast includes Ned Beatty, Lily Tomlin, Keith Carradine, Ronee Blakley, Karen Black, Henry Gibson, Shelly Duvall and Barbara Harris. Keith Carradine’s song “I’m Easy” won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
“O Brother, Where Art Thou?” May 29 and 31. In Depression-era Mississippi, three escaped convicts search for buried treasure while encountering colorful characters and singing bluegrass tunes. The movie stars George Clooney, John Turturro and Time Blake Nelson, with John Goodman, Holly Hunter and Charles Durning in supporting roles.
Admission is $5 at the door and concessions are available. Fox Film Series passes are for sale and include 10 admissions and 5 free small popcorns for $45.
The critically acclaimed musical “Wicked” will show Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2.

The Hutch Rec Daddy Daughter Date Night this Saturday is in the Cottonwood Court building on the Kansas State Fairgrounds and an “Enchanted Sea” theme will rule the evening with a Finding Nemo performance by Family Community Theatre, snacks, music, games, dancing, a raffle drawing, photo booth, and the popular balloon drop. The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. and ends at 8:30 p.m.
Loribeth Reynolds, Hutch Rec Marketing Manager, recommends interested participants buy their tickets in advance because waiting until the night of the event usually creates a long line, and dads and daughters have to wait in the cold before they can get in. Tickets can be purchased online at the Hutch Rec website, or in person at the Hutch Rec office, 17 East 1st Ave. Tickets for dads are $35 and tickets for daughters are $15.
Reynolds said that the event is well over 10 years old and keeps growing in attendance every year. “Attendance last year was 550, and it was our biggest year ever, and this year our goal is to host 600 dads and daughters,” said Reynolds. Registration is already almost 550.
“We’ll have games, DJ Impressions will provide the music for dancing, including the chicken dance and line dances. The limbo is popular and it’s fun to see the dads and daughters do the limbo. The Family Community Theatre cast will perform a couple of numbers from their upcoming Finding Nemo show. We’ll have sweet and savory snack trays too and lots of popcorn.” B. Epic Events will provide a photo booth.
At the end of the night, there will be a raffle drawing. Reynolds said, “And the biggest deal is the balloon drop at the end. A net is suspended from the ceiling with hundreds of balloons. They are released and drop to the floor. It’s mass chaos and so much fun. There’s always lots of happy screaming and popping of balloons.”
Reynolds said that dressing up is not required, and some dad and daughter pairs dress in matching outfits or costumes. “Some dads and daughters have a fun time going all out with their outfits or costumes. With the Enchanted Sea theme, I anticipate we’ll see lots of pirates and mermaids.”
“It is one of Hutch Rec’s most cherished community events. It’s the cutest darn thing,” said Reynolds.

The United Way of Reno County announced that it reached its $1.3 million fundraising goal.
In a press release, UWRC CEO and President Lacey Mills said, “We are incredibly humbled and thankful for the support we’ve received from the community. Reaching this $1.3 million milestone demonstrates the collective effort of everyone who believes in the power of working together to create positive, lasting change. With these funds, we can continue to make a significant impact on thousands of local lives, offering hope, support, and opportunities for a better future.”
Fundraising campaign co-chairs Angie and Keith Zwickl spearheaded the successful effort and thanked the community and the organization.
“I am extremely grateful to have been a part of the campaign this year. It was a wonderful experience, and I enjoyed working closely with the team at United Way of Reno County,” said Angie Zwickl. “I am beyond thrilled that we met our goal this year! This could not have been done without the incredible staff of UWRC, the Hype Squad (team of volunteers), the UWRC board, and everyone in the community that graciously donated their time, efforts and dollars.”
Keith Zwickl said, “I’m truly grateful to be part of supporting an organization that makes a real difference in our community. It’s inspiring to see so many people come together to create positive change and I’m honored to contribute to this meaningful cause.”
“We use those dollars to fund a couple of things here with United. Way. One of those is funding other non-profit programs in the community. We have 21 different non-profit partners that we support 33 different programs with,” Mills told The Hutchinson Tribune.
Some of the agencies and programs Mills highlighted include the Boys and Girls Club, infant and toddler programs and the Early Education Center, Brighthouse services and programs, funding for Meals on Wheels, and emergency assistance through the Salvation Army. The United Way supports its programs, including the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, Reno Connections, a Delta Dental insurance program, and mental health resources.
“We’re taking those dollars and investing them back into the community in health, youth opportunity, financial stability and community resiliency,” Mills said. “They serve infants through the
end of life.”
