1:40 PM matinee “Pavarotti” Photo from the balcony. Other times that day were 11 AM, 4:30 PM, 7:15 PM.
Some time ago, with my Olumpus Stylus camera I filmed the movie ending, house lights dimming then the house lights slowly rising as the the curtains started to close, as the credits came to an end ten seconds later the traveler closed the credits had ended. The last movie I saw was Mary, Queen of Scots this past Christmas. I knew the end was coming when Pavarotti opened and ten days later the theatres' closing was supposed to have happened but didn’t, this false alarm was actually an alert that the final days were coming. Pavarotti didn’t interest me so as you people say, a better film like “Romeo and Juliet” 1968 would have been a better swan song. Sorry to see it go but enjoyed every moment as I sat and watched every movie for the past three years. I hope the Village East does not close or else I will stop going to the movies. Life is short now and movies stink into the heavens. The last curtained movie theatre has bitten the dust. Shane on the landlord, certainly inhuman and horrible New Yorker.
The United Palace, when it shows its' monthly movies uses a brand new red velvet, gold trimmed curtain that closes at the movies end. Showmanship has a faint heartbeat here at least. One of my favorite single screen veue for movies!! is now the last… with a curtain.
Lets hope maybe some other movie chain or even Netflik or Amazon will buy or take over the now closed Paris Theatre NY lease. People need to protest and complain to the money hungry real estate owners. Thanks Howard for the photo image. The landlord at the Paris may have another deal in the works who knows?
I have not yet seen a classic at the United Palace but am happy to hear that in addition to its 4k projection & suround sound that it also uses a curtain! Though in Queens, and not a historic auditorium, the Museum of the Moving Image’s Redstone Auditorium uses a beautiful curtain at its movie presentations (usually classic but some new). I fear the Paris landlord either already has a non theater tenant or will gut & then seek one. That’s what the Festival page says he did there, though a difference being that was a non theater turned into a theater.
