Sneak preview of new film, "The Gentleman from Norwood: The Life and Times of Gov. Frank G. Allen"

Did you know that one of Massachusetts’s governors hailed from Norwood? Come to the Morrill Memorial Library on Monday, December 16 at 6:30 pm for a special preview of Jerry Kelleher’s new film, “The Gentleman from Norwood: The Life and Times of Governor Frank G. Allen.” Between 1910 and 1931, Allen served as Tax Assessor, Norwood Selectman, State Representative and Senator, Senator President, Lt. Governor, and Governor of Massachusetts. This film brings to life the untold story of the Honorable Frank Gilman Allen, a significant yet overlooked figure in Norwood.

DVDs of his new film will be available for purchase that evening, along with “Norwood Arena: the Movie” and “The Banner Years of Hockey,” the other two films by former selectman Kelleher. To register for this film screening and discussion, please visit our online events page at norwoodlibrary.org/morrillcalendar, call 781-769-0200, x110, or stop by the library Reference or Information Desk. This event is presented by Norwood Light Broadband, Dempsey Insurance, Central Auto Team, and 10th District Studios.
