Topic: 86 year old movie in a 85 year old theater

Today was the 85th anniversary of Sheas Theater in Buffalo, now almost completely restored (they've moved on to doing the ceiling and chandeliers), and they celebrated with a free showing of The Lost World. Now, it was a bad 70 minute print, but with the Mighty Wurlitzer providing the music it didn't matter one bit smile

Designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, and they found the plans to prove it smile Holds 3,000, and is now used for touring Broadway shows among other things. There's a smaller sister theater, the Riviera, up between Buffalo and Niagara Falls. To think they were going to tear it down in the 70's...

It's awesome, I'd rather sit in that room watching a film than in the new crappy cinemas that I visit.
