I was at the theatre this afternoon ( 4/28) for a showing of “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”. Again, no sign of hobos looking for candy.

I’d like to take a moment to thank the folks at the Ritz ( even though I’m sure it’s part of the landmark gimmick) for making this one of the finest movie experiences ever for me.

Upon my arrival, I was handed two “coconut shells”– anyone who has seen this film knows what do to with them. There was a good crowd and all had fun with this. I sure did.

I don’t know about the times you were there, hdtv267, but I have gone a lot in the afternoon, I have seen on many occasions, homeless people hanging around in the street level lobby, with filhty detressed plastic bags. Homeless individuals, who use the men’s rooms, some leave and some go into the auditoriums. The last straw for me was, on two occasions', disturbed people made noise and muttering sounds all through two french films, I was trying to enjoy. Management gave me a pass, but that is not the point, this is the Ritz, not the old Budco Goldman Theater. I expect more from this chain, so would Ramon Possel, if he were alive. I only go to the Ritz 5, the crumbling original theater, when the film I want to see is not playing in Voorhees. This is a security issue, as well, I paid, they didn’t. There is a blind spot at the Bourse, where the cashier can not see, this is how they get in and this is why they need a ticket taker at all times. I have spoken to management about this, maybe hdtv, it have gotten better since you been there. I plan on seeing “Salt of Life” this weekend, I hope you’re right.

I’ve been to this theatre several weeks in a row recently. I’ve seen no issues with anyone sneaking into this complex, including hobos looking for candy.

I love to attend this theater in the afternoons. Recently, since in the daytime there are no ticket takers, there has been a problem with homeless people sneeking into this theater.
