Snow White And The Three Stooges
SNOW WHITE AND THE THREE STOOGES
Olympic gold medal-winning figure skater Carol Heiss Jenkins will answer audience questions after a rare showing of a 1961 musical/comedy/fantasy in which she starred, Snow White And The Three Stooges, on Saturday, January 5, at 7:00 pm at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, 11141 East Boulevard in University Circle, telephone (216) 421-7450 - Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque

Heiss Jenkins, in her only film role, plays an ice-skating Snow White who is protected from the evil queen, not by seven dwarfs, but by the Three Stooges (Larry, Moe, and Curly-Joe). Shot in color and Cinemascope, with five songs and two ice ballets, SNOW WHITE AND THE THREE STOOGES was the most expensive and elaborate Stooges movie ever made. The Cinematheque will show a new 35mm film print from the 20th Century Fox Studio Archive.

Tickets (at the door) are $8, Cinematheque members $6, kids 12 & under $5. There is free parking in the adjacent Cleveland Institute of Art lot.
