Possibly, some adult somewhere in America doesn’t know the mystery of Citizen Kane – why newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane whispers the word “rosebud” on his deathbed. Who hasn’t seen the groundbreaking 1941 masterpiece by Orson Welles, a thinly biography of William Randolph Hearst that’s widely hailed the greatest movie ever made? If you don’t know the names Kane, Welles or Hearst, or you’re wondering “But what about Mean Girls?” then sorry to spoil the surprise, you twenty-something Philistine. Please return to whatever you were doing with your smart phone. Or better yet, you can go see what all the fuss is about at the Texas Theatre, 231 W. Jefferson Blvd., which is showing a restored version of Citizen Kane at 9 p.m. Thursday and 5 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $10.
Thu., April 2, 9 p.m.; Sun., April 5, 5 p.m., 2015
