Hotel, screening details for CMPS 2022

The Columbus Moving Picture Show opens two months from today. Time is ticking away.

So, if you are thinking of attending, here are details about the Renaissance Columbus Downtown Hotel. It is located at 50 N. 3rd St., in the heart of the city’s downtown. To make reservations, call 1-614-228-5050, and ask for the Columbus Moving Picture Show guest room rate.

A fine group of restaurants are within walking distance of the hotel, so meals won’t be a problem.

The film program is nearly finalized, so here is a list of some of the movies that will be shown:

The Adventures of Red Ryder, a 1940, 12-chapter, action-packed Republic serial that will be screened over the festival’s four days.

Also on the schedule will be Our Gang, Charley Chase and Laurel & Hardy comedy shorts and the festival’s annual animation program.

Feature films on the program include: Ramrod (1947) with Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake; Invisible Ghost (1941) with Bela Lugosi; Behind the News (1940) with Lloyd Nolan and Robert Armstrong; Hold That Ghost (1942) with Abbott & Costello; Murder at the Vanities (1934) with Victor McLaglen and Jack Oakie; the silent film, Wild Beauty (1927) with Rex, the Wonder Horse; Love Thy Neighbor (1940) with Jack Benny and Fred Allen; and Flesh and Blood (1922) with Lon Chaney and Noah Beery.
