Mining City Matinee- The Tinderbox

While the cat’s away the mice will play! Our directors are out of the office, so the rest of the staff is holding a movie matinee! Join us as we screen “The Tinderbox”, a locally produced film about a shell-shocked soldier who returns home to Butte and falls for a young woman locked in a tower by her paranoid father. In a local twist on the classic tale, instead of magical dogs, the soldier is aided by a lightning-fast leprechaun who lives under the historic Pekin Noodle Parlor.
