HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO DEAR READER SANDRA!!!
Supposedly, there is a place at 82nd and Columbus, one block away from me! I'll walk over there very shortly and, if they are in business, get these photos takenIt seats 2,311, according to the website. It was built in 1929. Has great acoustics, especially in the balcony, so it's fun to see the symphony there.
DR JohnG, how large is that theatre? It looks huge!.
TOD: I remember one or two of the large movie houses in Louisville, none of which still exists. My favorite, the Vogue, is now a kitchen goods store.
But the Majestic in San Antonio has been turned into a legit house and it's beautiful. Here are a few pictures.

And on Wednesday morning, I am taping a radio interview about my upcoming auditions for ANGEL STREET aka GASLIGHT.
George or anyone else in the know: April is nearing an end. Have you heard anything more about "At Long Last Love" on DVD?

And the word of the day is: QUOIN!
SHAKE SHACK opens Tomorrow 11:00 AM Opposite FAU In Boca Raton. YUM!I wanna go!
TOD:
The most opulent theater in downtown Seattle was the Orpheum.
It was torn down long ago and an ugly hotel now stands on that spot.
Perhaps my favorite theater was our neighborhood Roycroft, located on 19th at Roy.
A Russian community center now occupies that space.

I feel like DataLounge has been hosting a production of GASLIGHT for a while now, now that we have the proof that their webmaster actually was one of the people involved!!! (He's caught redhanded having actually changed my posts and leaving my signature on them. Also one of my collaborators and leaving his signature on.) They can no longer claim they were just a site with a Twitter or Fcaebook exception on which others who just used their service were misbehaving.. Bk may have been right. this may have been a Pakula film after all. It's good to have this info, but it's creepy towards what end all this was done. Motive seems very blurry here.)
DR Who fans, Arthur Darvill is now playing the male lead in ONCE: THE MUSICAL on Broadway.

That's a great theater, George.
Noone must have been older than Frederic when he reached that 1940 birthday.That's a great theater, George.
It is! The first time that my family went to the theater after we moved to Washington state (when I was 10), was to see a national touring production of "The Pirates of Penzance" at the 5th Avenue. Peter Noone (formerly of Herman's Hermits) was playing Frederic and James Belushi (then only known as John's younger brother) was the Pirate King.

The 5th Avenue (https://www.5thavenue.org/) in Seattle is pretty darned opulent.

Keep your eyes open for Miss Allison Hayes info DR DOUG R
Well, I'm getting senile: I sat down with my photos, my passport, and my application for a renewal, and started filling it out. I got to the place where I enter all my old passport information and the damned thing expires in 2015, not 2013! Sad . . .Well, the sequester may be over by 2015.
The rest of the day has been DEAREST ENEMY and ROBERTA tsuris, telephone calls, and budgets. Oy!

I agree. I understand that it and the Paramount are the only downtown theaters still there. Both legit houses now, I believe.
I recall seeing movies like THE GUNS OF NAVARONE and THE KING AND I at the 5th Avenue. It was a block up the street from my father's jewelry store, which was two doors down from the Blue Mouse Theater...right next to Ivar's restaurant.
Do you remember any of those places, or am I going back too far?
I just read this week's NEW YORK magazine which has a very good review for Nathan Lane and his comedy THE NANCE, which I'd very much like to see, and a lacerating and viciously funny review of Tom Cruise's new film OBLIVION (are Cruise and Travolta in competition to produce the worst L. Ron Hubbard sci fi mess?), which is another reason to detest Cruise.

I'd read a headline somewhere that said that "Oblivion" is supposed to be a hit...at least, financially (http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/entertainment/20130421/US-USA-BOXOFFICE/).

The film has gotten some mixed reviews to be sure. The story is not, however, one of L. Ron Hubbard's.
Okay, stop talking about me, because I am here!
We were just saying how annoying Taking Care of Business is, we were not saying b=how annoying Tom TCB is.
So there is electricity on the ship.
It's not a Carnival line, I take it?

Ah, they just played ALWAYS on in-cabin radio (Quick what play uses that song?), and now Frank is singing A FOGGY DAY IN LONDON TOWN.

BLITHE SPIRIT.
tried to maneuver my chariot out of the narrow opening and managed to run it into the wall instead.
((((((((TCB))))))) Are you have a good time?
I tried to post but it says my photos are to big. Will have to go to FB (sorry BK) to see them.

What kind of movies played at the Blue Mouse Theater, DR Druxy?
What kind of movies played at the Blue Mouse Theater, DR Druxy?
Usually hard ticket films (e.g. OKLAHOMA, BEN-HUR, etc.), as well as pictures that had long runs (e.g. THE MUSIC MAN).
Back in those days in Seattle, a popular movie might play in a downtown theater as long as a year or more before it moved out into the smaller neighborhood houses.
Dear reader Sandra should be here all the time - we miss her and her amusing posts.

I concur!!
I had a very nice walk today.

The first photo is not good -- but those little buggers are very small, very fast, and like to hide in the deepest part of the tree. So I decided to include it.
