NEW ORLEANS, LA — In June, the historic Saenger Theatre will bring movies back to this New Orleans movie palace.

According to The Times-Picayne, “Each movie will be preceded by a Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Chuck Jones and musical selections played on the theater’s 77-year-old Robert Morton organ. John Hiltonsmith, who is restoring the Saenger’s 778-pipe organ, will play.”
