We reported before on a “Ward Kimball home movie” event to take place on April 21 and now we have some more information it from a mailing from Hollywood Heritage. Follow the ‘More’ link for an exact reproduction of the text of the postcard (right down to the misspelling of Ward’s last name). It appears that the footage to be shown isn’t really ‘home movies’ but film shot of the opening of Los Angeles’ Union Station in 1939.
