    Last Remaining Seats update

    LOS ANGELES, CA – As mentioned in my column the other week, the Last Remaining Seats film series is coming back to Los Angeles starting next month. As usual, sales have been quite brisk. If you want tickets, especially for the first two evenings(N by NW and Roman Holiday) I would buy them immediately because they will sell out.

    Classic Films - Timeless Romance at the Loew’s Jersey

    The joy of finding love is equaled in intensity only by the despair of fearing that it is not meant to last.

    Time and fate can be treacherous allies in love.

    Little wonder, then, that some of the finest literature and greatest movies are about love transcending time. This month, the Landmark Loew’s Jersey presents three of the most legendary such films.

    Wuthering Heights Friday, April 27 at 8PM
    Starring Laurence Olivier & Merle Oberon. Directed by William Wyler. Produced by Samuel Goldwyn. (1939, 110mins., B&W, United Artists) Though repeatedly re-made, this is considered the definitive version of Emily Bronte’s classic novel. Olivier and Oberon give outstanding performances in this story of love, loss and time.

    The legendary screen-writing team of Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur wrote the script, with uncredited input from John Huston. A timeless classic not to be missed by lovers of film.

    Organ concert at The Brooklyn Paramount(UPDATED: Event cancelled)

    Hi all,

    If you’re in the area and wanted to see the inside of the old Brooklyn Paramount (Now the L.I.U. Gym), there will be an organ concert given on the originial Mighty Wurlitzer 4/26 opus 1984 organ which was installed when the theatre was built.

    Come and hear the a Mighty Wrulitzer in a way you’ve never heard one before. That’s because there are no carpets, seats or drapes to surpress the sound. Just the wood gym floor. Great for the organ, bad for stage shows.
