Volunteer ushers needed at Loew’s Jersey
JERSEY CITY, NJ — The fall brings a new season to the Loew’s Jersey — and that means there are more chances coming for you to find out what it’s like to “work a show” by joining our team of volunteer ushers.
We need ushers to help out this Saturday, September 29th for a Filipino music concert.
It’s vital to the Loew’s to have a cadre of volunteers to take tickets, help guide patrons to their seats, and assist behind the concession counter. And, as people who’ve worked with us before can attest, for volunteers, its fun and exciting to be a vital part of “showtime,” and it’s rewarding to know that they are making another successful show at the landmark Loew’s possible.

ISO: Wilma Theatre info
MISSOULA, MT – My business partners and I are closing on our acquisition of this historical Wilma Theatre (1921 / 1063 seats) on Sept. 28 / 07 (this week). I read some great commentary and stories about it from some members and would love to get more information from anyone. We are attempting to piece the history together. We are also restoring the theatre and will use a restrictive use easement to ensure the theatre stays a community asset/treasure. Rocky Mountain Development Group

Today’s Newsreel
It’s been awhile since we’ve posted a “newsreel,” but with so many stories it’s hard to keep up! Here are a few worth noting:
Metromode has a short article on the renovations at the Royal Oak Music Theatre, along with two photographs.
The Los Angeles Times reports on the state of the Vision Theatre (formerly the Leimert Theatre) and the financial troubles besetting the neighborhood.
The Billings Gazette is reporting that the Judith Theatre in Lewistown, MT will reopen next month. New photos can be seen here.
Cinema Treasures has just added a huge number of Moroccan theaters, thanks to Ken Roe. These are definitely worth a look. Thanks to our editors and all of our contributors, we’ve added over 60 theaters in the last 24 hours.
Big Screen Classics continue at the Lafayette in Suffern, NY this weekend with After the Thin Man.

Petition To Save NYC’s Playpen Theater, Oldest Vaudeville House
I would appreciate it if you can sign an online petition to save what is more than likely NYC’s oldest vaudeville Theater, the Playpen on 8th Avenue between 43rd & 44th Streets, which was known as the Ideal Theatre in 1916. The clock is ticking, and the Committee To Save The Playpen Theater amongst other preservationists, need all the help we can get to spare this intact Beaux Art gem. Demolition permits are pending, and we’re trying to convince developer Daniel Tishman to donate it to a non-profit. Please sign the online petition, post a brief comment, & forward the following to as many contacts as possible. Your assistance is invaluable!
