A rich and lovely painting in Hopper’s lonely and silent impressionistic feeling.

Art modern beauty. Graceful and rich style.

An architectural masterpiece. A monument for New York. Of course this sort of thing is not considered important in modern times in North America. Empty lots are important though. And throw away ugly multiplexes.

Nice box office anyway. Funky entrance. Like the Last Picture Show.

pnelson commented about Tudor Theatre on Jun 5, 2015 at 6:27 pm

Very gothic details and tall auditorium. Proscenium is handsome and ceiling details. Unique qualities to interior.

Still lots of great details and proscenium left. Will be nice.

Very dramatic entrance for an old theatre on not the best street in town. Must have been better years ago.

Great box office design. Original? The interior looks very generic.

Too bad when classic old theatres are multi-plexed. Much better to save the original auditorium and just build 4 more new ones. Of course that breaks the budget.

pnelson commented about On The Screen: Cinerama on May 5, 2015 at 7:42 pm

Top pic may be of the Seattle Cinerama. It was built in the 60’s and has been remodeled a few times and is now one of the most high-tech theatres on Earth. Still has the original sized screen I believe. Was just revamped as a theatre again recently. Even better sound. Now has stars in the ceiling. They also use the curtain I think.I once saw Blade Runner here and it was in a Cinerama style lense process. Wrap around screen. Also saw 2001 here in the first showing of this film. Quite an experience.

Beautiful building. A waste to demolish it. Any interior images?

What a waste to tear down this dramatic building.

pnelson commented about Louisville Palace Theatre on May 5, 2015 at 7:11 pm

The UA 150 theatre in Seattle that was built in the 60’s had a very large curved screen. Sadly this great place was torn down a few years ago. Star Wars premiered there for Seattle and placed for months. D150 was almost as wonderful as Cinerama in my opinion. Wish it still existed.

The most elegant theatre! Side balcony and lovely proscenium arch. Wondeful details. Exterior details are great too.

Window is exciting design and marquee too. Great art deco building.

pnelson commented about Strand Theatre on May 4, 2015 at 9:23 pm

Very plain but interesting old place. Beautiful little town. Saw a thriller there about 10 years ago. Mono sound system if I remember. Too bad it is closed as the area needs a theatre close by.

Nice marquee and architectural trim. Vintage.

Such a funky and unique decor. Perfect for Montana and the raw hunting charactor of the area. Beautiful place and theatre.

Elegant and lovely old building. Signage and marquee are beautiful. A loss to the area that it is gone.
