“The Point” Storyline
An animated story of an unusual kingdom in which everything and everybody is
pointed - except for a young boy named Oblio. Despite his round head, Oblio has
many friends. But an evil count, jealous that Oblio is more popular than his
own son, says that without a pointed head, Oblio is an outlaw. Along with his
faithful dog Arrow, Oblio is exiled to the Pointless Forest. There, he has many
fantastic experiences (including encounters with a 3-headed man, giant bees,
a tree in the leaf-selling business, and a good-humored old rock). From his adventures,
Oblio learns that it is not at all necessary to be pointed to have a point in
life.
Music composed and performed by Harry Nilsson ("Me and My Arrow"), who also wrote
the story. Storyline written by alfiehitchie

ABOUT THE MUSIC:
Hand Made Organ of John Prtljaga
The Organ was started by John in 1990 and continues to be modified to play Old
Time Dutch and German Folk Songs, Polkas, and Waltzes. It has 75 Keys and started
out as a Wurlitzer 65 Organ. The Case is made of oak and now has the design of
an old fashioned Dutch Street Organ. This will be the 3rd year John has made
his appearance with this personally crafted instrument.
The Mayfields
(Ma and Pa of Jessica Lee Mayfield and One Way Rider): http://onewayrider.com
"You can’t help but feel good listening to One Way Rider! Their musicality
draws you in, from their intricate and fast-paced instrumentals, to their smooth
vocal harmonies, the talent of this family bluegrass band literally bursts from
the stage. Seeing One Way Rider live is an uplifting and unforgettable musical
experience."
~ Catherine Cala, WYSU FM
Downtown Kent Historical Highlights:
CITY BANK ANTIQUES: http://www.citybankantiques.com/
In August 1995, Don and Karen Barrett opened City Bank Antiques in the original,
1911 City Bank Building in Kent, Ohio. Don is an expert in the repair of American
pocket watches. It was inevitable that their hobby would someday develop into
a business, which Karen, a former librarian, now manages. Their store offers
a variety of antique clocks as diverse as cuckoo and school house regulators
to grandfather clocks and pinwheel regulators. The Barretts are proud to be official
Chelsea Clock dealers, the “timekeepers of the sea” and the last
great American clock company.
In September 2005, Don and Karen showcased their expanded shop which now encompasses
the entire original City Bank Building and occupies more than 1850 square feet
of first floor retail space. When it comes to antique pocket watches, City Bank
Antiques is one of the largest retailers in the state.

The Role of the Kent Historical Society
The role of our historical society in the community has grown over the years.
We now bring educational programs to schools, businesses, and civic organizations,
as well as collaborate with community groups on projects such as the preservation
of our historic Pioneer Cemetery, the Main Street Kent revitalization program,
and historic preservation projects in the community.
We are dedicated to documenting Kent history through artifacts, records, and
documents from the people of our community, our living history.

ABOUT THE FILM
Director: Richard Lester
Actors: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr,
The Beatles
Writers: Alun Owen
Producers: David V. Picker, Denis O'Dell, Walter Shenson
Rated: G (General Audience)
Release Date: 1964
Run Time: 87 minutes
SYNOPSIS:
The Fab Four from Liverpool--John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George
Harrison, and Ringo Starr--in their first movie. Nobody expected
A Hard Day's Night to be much more than a quick exploitation
of a passing musical fad, but when the film opened it immediately
seduced the world--even the stuffiest critics fell over themselves
in praise (highbrow Dwight Macdonald called it "not only a gay, spontaneous,
inventive comedy but it is also as good cinema as I have seen for a long time").
Wisely, screenwriter Alun Owen based his script on the Beatles' actual celebrity
at the time, catching them in the delirious early rush of Beatlemania: eluding
rampaging fans, killing time on trains and in hotels, appearing on a TV broadcast.
American director Richard Lester, influenced by the freestyle French New Wave
and British Goon Show humor, whips up a delightfully upbeat circus of perpetual
motion.
From the opening scene of the mop tops rushing through a train station mobbed
by fans, the movie rarely stops for air. Some of the songs are straightforwardly
presented, but others ("Can't Buy Me Love," set to the foursome gamboling around
an empty field) soar with ingenuity. Above all, the Beatles express their irresistible
personalities: droll, deadpan, infectiously cheeky. Better examples of pure cinematic
joy are few and far between. --Robert Horton

to travel around all of German occupied Europe. When Nazi Major Strasser arrives

to, they plan to run off together again using the letters of transit. Well, that
was their original plan....
