STEPHENVILLE, Texas — Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Tarleton State University’s W. K. Gordon Museum resumes its Night at the Opera House series with the 1934 romantic musical Flirtation Walk at 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 10.
Dick Powell plays Dick “Canary” Dorcy, who becomes enamored with “Kit” Fitts, a general’s daughter, played by Ruby Keeler. After being caught together on the pathway known as Flirtation Walk, the pair separate to avoid a scandal, but what will happen when they reunite a few short years later?
Admission and intermission snacks are free; however, space is limited and reservations are suggested. To reserve seats, call 254-968-1886 or email gordoncenter@tarleton.edu.
The W. K. Gordon Museum and Research Center is located at 65258 Interstate 20, Exit 367, in Mingus and is open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and 1-4 p.m. Sunday.
