Gene Kelly's day, incidentally, will be on August 23rd, the centennial of his birth.
The complete official schedule of films isn't posted yet, but many of the titles are now known. I'm especially intrigued by a 1937 version of THE OUTCASTS OF POKER FLAT to be shown on Van Heflin Day; it costars Preston Foster and Jean Muir.
Over at Immortal Ephemera, Cliff, an expert on Warren William, has posted a list of the tentative William titles to be shown.I'll be posting more details on the August schedule at the end of July. In the meantime, June will focus on Teen Idols and July will be Leslie Howard Month.

uThere's also a SUTS birthday celebration for Myrna Loy Aug. 2.
Nearly half (14) of those honored are first-timers, including Marilyn Monroe, Lionel Barrymore, Lillian Gish, Eva Marie Saint, Kay Francis and Tyrone Power.
I wrote more about this at http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/509062.html.
Thanks for sharing! :)
I'm most excited about Freddie Bartholomew day, Van Heflin day, and Leslie Howard month.
