Best of New Jersey Features, News and Event Listings

The conference will take on May 1st 2010, the day before our Celebrant 2010 graduation festivities and ceremony on May 2nd, at the Hyatt Hotel in Jersey City, NJ, situated on the Muhheakantuck River (Hudson River) with beautiful panoramic views of New York City.

It made good and practical sense to us to have our conference on the same weekend as our Celebrant graduation, so that Celebrant graduates, their families, alumni, faculty, board members and friends of the Foundation could attend our conference and graduation and meet each other. That’s what we’re all about!

Let’s first whet your appetite with our 8 Life-Cycle Celebrant speakers and workshop topics. The conference begins on Saturday, May 1st at 10:00am and concludes at 4:15pm.

Each of the Celebrants will be speaking for about 25 minutes. Come join us, view the invitation posted here to the left.

Loews Celebrates 80 Years in Jersey City

Come Celebrate the Landmark Loew’s Jersey’s 80th Year! Come and enjoy our celebration of the theatre’s 1929 opening year with three classic movies either set in or filmed during the “Roaring Twenties.”

Friday, October 2, 8:00pm: The Untouchables (1987)


Starring Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Robert De Niro, Charles Martin Smith, Andy Garcia. Directed by Brian De Palma. (119 mins.) Chicago of the Prohibition-era is convincingly recreated, and the classic Hollywood gangster picture is brilliantly re-imagined in this modern masterpiece. Connery won Best Supporting Oscar, but all five stars give unforgettable performances.

Sat. Oct. 3 – 4:00pm: The Cocoanuts (1929)


Starring The Marx Brothers (Groucho, Harpo, Chico & Zeppo) and Margaret Dumont. Music by Irving Berlin. (96 mins.) This last great comedy of the 1920’s was also The Marx Brothers’ first film. And it was the first great comedy of the talking picture era!

Sat. Oct 3 – 8:00pm Safety Last!* (1923)


Starring Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davis, Bill Strothers, Noah Young. (78mins.) Silent, shown with LIVE ORGAN accompaniment by Ralph Ringstad, Jr. on the Loew’s Wonder Morton. One of the greatest comedies of the 1920s, “Safety Last” includes the iconic scene of Lloyd hanging from the hands of a clock high atop a building. Don’t miss this RARE chance to see it as it was meant to be enjoyed – on the BIG screen with live organ accompaniment.

*Special Admission Price for “Safety Last”: $7 adults; $5 students, children under 12 & seniors. Admission to this film will not be included in any combo pricing. Admission to “The Untouchables” and “Cocoanuts” will be at our normal prices of $6 for adults and $4 for students, children & seniors.
