GLITZ,
GLAMOUR AND PHONOGRAPH MUSIC FROM THE PAST
Tallulah Bankhead, granddaughter of
Alabama Senator and Bankhead Highway promoter John Bankhead was a colorful
character in the early era of filmmaking.
The Franklin County Arts Alliance is hosting a Glitz & Glamour
Soiree on Friday 6 p.m., September 9th in her honor and to open up
the Franklin County Arts Alliance DRIVEN Film
Festival celebrating film and the Bankhead Highway that begin traveling past
the Mt. Vernon town square just four years before the Franklin County Courthouse,
just recently renovated, was built.
Classically trained at Le
Cordon Bleu in Dallas, Caterer & Certified Personal Fitness Chef, Donna Copeland has spent countless
hours on this fundraiser concocting a crystal and high-end culinary experience
that alone would dazzle guests, but topped off with the unforgettable
deep-throated sound of 1920-30’s phonograph record music this gala promises a
classy start for the festival.
Both Chef Donna and Dustin Ellis from the Mt. Pleasant Edison Phonograph
Museum will be on hand to greet guests and share their expertise.
