Santa is Coming to
San Gabriel Neighborhoods
I t’s not a holiday season without Santa riding
the fire engine through the streets of San
Gabriel. The San Gabriel Fire Department
will escort the jolly ol’ fellow throughout the
town. Be on the lookout for Santa in your
neighborhood starting December 20 thru 23.
The city will be divided by Del Mar and the
railroad tracks. Santa will visit the southwest
area of the city on December 20; the
southeast area on December 21; the northwest
area on December 22; and the northeast area
on December 23. Santa will begin each night’s
journey at approximately 6:00 pm and will
return to the North Pole at 9:30 pm, weather
permitting. Santa travels as many streets in
San Gabriel as possible, but he cannot promise he
will be able to visit every street.
Letters to Santa
The Community Services Department and Santa’s Elves want to make sure
your wish list is delivered to the North Pole! Be sure to write Santa a letter to
tell him a little something about yourself and how you’ve been good all year.
Remember, Santa knows if you have been bad or good! Drop off your
letters in the special mailbox located inside the Community Center or mail
your letters to the Community Services Department. Santa will respond to
every child who writes him by Friday, December 17.

Watch a Chaplin classic at the Playhouse
Thanksgiving weekend. . .
A
fter Thanksgiving dinner and Black Friday
shopping, end your holiday week with
a Sunday afternoon at the movies! On
November 28th at 2:30 p.m., we will be
screening Charlie Chaplin’s 1925 classic, The
Gold Rush,, which “charts a prospector’s search
for fortune in the Klondike and his discovery
of romance” with live accompaniment on our
Mighty Wurlitzer theater pipe organ.
In his journey hoping to strike it rich, the
Lone Prospector (Chaplin) encounters many
obstacles including a grizzly bear, an outlaw,
hunger and the powerful force of Mother
Nature. “Featuring timeless gags as the dance
of the dinner rolls and the meal of boiled
shoe leather, The Gold Rush is an indelible
work of heartwarming hilarity” (criterion.
com).
With a cost of over $900,000, Chaplin
spared no expenses. It was the film that
Chaplin stated he would most like to be
remembered by and remains “one of
cinema’s enduring classics, starring, written,
and directed by the twentieth century’s first
media superstar.” (tcm.com).
Accompanying the film is organist Russ
Peck. Mr. Peck currently performs at San
Diego Symphony Hall/Jacobs Music
Center for their silent film presentations and is house
organist at San Diego’s Balboa Theatre. In addition to being an organist, he is principal timpanist for
the Tifereth Israel Community Orchestra.
Visit missionplayhouse.org for ticket information and what to know before your
next Playhouse visit. We recommend purchasing your tickets in advance at our
Box Office open Thursdays from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. If you wait until the day of
the show to purchase tickets at the Box Office, please come early. Our Box Office
opens 90 minutes before a show begins.
