Remembrance Event - “Captains of the Clouds.”

The Camrose Booster and the Bailey Theatre are proud to present the ninth in our Double Feature Remembrance Day series. The topic this year is the British Commonwealth Air Training Program, one of the first and most important contributions Canada would make to the war effort. Under a deal signed in 1939, Canada agreed to provide facilities and training for airmen from every part of the Commonwealth. Ted Barris will be giving a presentation on his book, “Behind the Glory” followed by a screening of the 1942 film “Captains of the Clouds.” First Feature: Ted Barris lecture, “Behind the Glory” Ted Barris, acclaimed Canadian historian, historical author, journalist, broadcaster, and Member of the Order, returns to Camrose with his presentation on The British Commonwealth Air Training Program. Ted’s presentation is based on interviews with more than 200 former instructors and BCATP students from around the world. “Behind the Glory,” will be available for purchase for $35. The Spotlight Bistro is offering your choice of Veggie Wrap, Chicken Veggie Wrap, Egg Salad Croissant, Ham & Cheese Croissant, and a side of veggies and dip, a cookie, and a bottle of water for $18.

Second Feature: Film screening, “Captains of the Clouds” The evening will conclude with a screening of “Captains of the Clouds,” starring James Cagney.

It was the first Hollywood movie filmed entirely in Canada and Cagney’s first in Technicolor. FREE ADMISSION has been made possible by the Camrose Booster.
