December 25, 2007 marks what would have been the 100th birthday for one of 20th century’s greatest entertainers and musicians, Rochester-born Cab Calloway (1907–1994), also known as the “King of Hi-De-Ho.” A legendary singer, dancer, and bandleader, Calloway also left his mark on the movies. We’ll celebrate the occasion on December 21 with a screening of a great 1944 musical, Stormy Weather. Featuring four terrific Calloway numbers and appearances from other legends like Lena Horne, Fats Waller, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, and the Nicholas Brothers, Stormy Weather is entertainment at its finest. As a bonus, we’ll also present Calloway in cartoons, short films, and other footage spanning his 70-year career.
