14 of us Coasters braved the 101 degree heat last night to ride and watch the classic silent movie comedy Safety Last. The film was accompanied by Professor Steven Ball on Wichita’s Mighty Wurlitzer organ. It was another great performance and those of us who had seen the Phantom Of The Opera last year, agreed we liked this movie better.
Following the movie we rode to Braum’s for ice cream.
