A pleasant evening was had by all. Entertainment has certainly changed over the past hundred years. Slapstick comedy has transformed into TikTok fail videos. Dolby surround sound has replaced an organist playing non-stop for over an hour. It was notable too that we were watching a black & white 1928 movie while we could see modern jets in the distance on their approach to Lindberg Field.
