The Range | January 24, 2025

This week on "The Range," we explore the allure of the classic movie theater experience. Also, we remember the time a U.S. president pitched in to help with the Kansas wheat harvest.

There’s nothing like being in a movie theater when the curtains go up, the lights go down, and the film begins. That’s what draws movie lovers to the historic Orpheum Theater for its annual film series.

Also, the country inaugurated its newest president this week — which led Beccy Tanner to start thinking about former presidents who have visited our state. For this month’s Hidden Kansas, she takes us to a place that has two memorials remembering a presidential visit more than 100 years ago.
