***^Buttons (2018)  This was a special engagement at the theater, featuring Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury as guardian angels.  A young girl is orphaned, and instead of taken in by her relatives is given a position at their mill.  Conditions at the mill are such that children do not last very long.  Jane Seymour portrays the aunt who turns her away.  Only in a daring escape, and a miraculous intervention is her life spared, and that at other girls at the mill as they are taken in and adopted by a wealthy family.  I think this was a special engagement because it wasn’t quite ready.  There were technical issues with getting the action and the sound to match.  I hate that in a movie.
