CALLING ALL MARILYN MONROE FANS! Cinecon is proud to present a rare kinescope of Marilyn’s first television appearance on The Jack Benny Program in 1953.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Kinecon at Cinecon will screen Marilyn’s small-screen debut during the Jack Benny segment on Saturday, Sept 5 at the Nuart Theatre in Los Angeles.

Marilyn made her live television debut on September 13, 1953 in a comedy sketch titled "Honolulu Trip" to promote her film How to Marry a Millionaire. We couldn’t miss the opportunity to honor one of the silver screen’s brightest stars during the centennial year of her birth. And in true Cinecon style... with a kinescope!

Rare home movies will also be shown throughout the weekend, including footage of Marilyn with Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart at the premiere of How to Marry a Millionaire.

Oz comes to life in The Magic Cloak of Oz (1914), as a magical garment capable of granting one wish sets off an adventure filled with fairies, kingdoms, witches, and unusual creatures.

Long before Judy Garland slipped on the ruby slippers in MGM’s Technicolor classic, the Oz stories were already making their way to the big screen.

Join us at the Cinecon Classic Film Festival this Labor Day weekend for a newly restored presentation of The Magic Cloak of Oz, all thanks to Nate Barlow who lovingly restored the film!
