There aren't. You have found all the adverbs in the passage:
1. slowly

Explanation:
An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb. It is common for adverbs to have -ly at their endings, but that will not necessarily be the case with all of them. Some examples of adverbs are: well, quickly, early, sweetly, etc.
Let's focus now on the adverbs found in the passage and the words they are modifying:
1. slowly --> modifies the verb "walked"
2. quietly --> modifies the verb "moved"
3. beautifully --> modifies the verb "playing"
4. loudly --> modifies the verb "playing" in a different sentence
A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition. Although after can be used as a preposition, in this case it is an adverb, and is followed by a clause, not a phrase. The correct answer is thus to the movies, because the phrase starts with the preposition to.
