Wonderful news! I’d love to get a look at the old place again. I enjoyed seeing movies there and once I Saw Pearl Bailey in a memorable stage show in the late 50’s.

willis commented about Garden Theatre (Second) on Sep 2, 2007 at 7:26 pm

I believe the first “art” film shown at the Garden was “Bitter Rice” about 1950-51, and prior to that it had shown mainstream second run films.

willis commented about In-seat complaint button being tested on Aug 7, 2006 at 5:11 pm

We should be able to alert them to anything going wrong in the audutorium whether it’s people or projection or air-conditioning related, without have to get up and search for an elusive employee (and risk losing your seat if you’re alone.) Such a system would be wonderful, but of course some people will abuse it to the point of rendering it useless.
