Best of all, the current owner is interviewed by the rewind bench upon which is placed a very conspicous bottle of Film-Guard. Nice product placement, Brad!

The story is slotted between 35 and 45 minutes from the start of the show. Check, as they say, your local listings.

Today's plexes just don't give me the same feeling. They don't cause me to leave my cares at the door like the old palaces, places where you feel/felt in awe of the size and grandeur of the theatre and where good presenation on the large screens make/made going to the movies such an adventure.

Plexes also don't give me the feeling that "the show begins at the sidewalk." With their often unimaginative architecture and interior design, and with loud teen filled video arcades thrown into the mix, my wife and I have found that they sometimes actually create stressful experiences for us. Granted, I've seen some very well done multi-screen cinemas but in general they just don't create the same soothing experience as the old palaces and single screen neighborhood theatres.

The Senator Theatre is one of my all-time favorite single screen movie houses. I've often said that if I could choose my own personal Heaven, I'd like to spend eternity at the Senator. I haven't been able to get there in the past few years due to distance and my work scedule but I remember that the showmanship was and probably still is excellent. Cartoons, shorts subjects like Judy Garland as Dorothy singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," the mere thought gives me goosebumps. The Senator Theatre is truly a classic and I'd rather see a movie there than anywhere else in Baltimore.
