I shouldn’t have overlooked PENNIES FROM HEAVEN, well done but audiences didn’t flock.
Pike Place Cinema, where I worked at the time, *might* have been TICKET TO HEAVEN then, scary drama about cults.

THEY ALL LAUGHED is *adult* entertainment, I enjoyed it at the time w/o being a parent, also REDS, RAGTIME, RAIDERS, CHARIOTS OF FIRE & ABSENCE OF MALICE.

There’s a page missing. No ads for Seven Gables Theatres, the Varsity, the Grand Illusion, Pike Place Cinema, University Cinemas, Landmark’s Neptune & Harvard Exit. And half the listings.

Reset the Chronometer in the chronomobile, this is 1960.

Worth noting THE LAST ANGRY MAN, the great Paul Muni’s last feature, also earning him an Oscar nomination; opens tomorrow at the Coliseum.

Youngster.
Between kids mats at the Admiral in Bremerton and KIRO’s Sat Afternoon Sci Fi Theater, musy have seen this a dozen times. Almost as many x as ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS.

Considering who controls the nukes, that deserves a moment's consideration.
Oh, right, hallucinations.
Never mind.

Also notable, the now vanished practice of the indie houses being closed for Xmas Eve. The only day of the year that theatres closed for, a gift to their staffs which provided a time for a community party which were ah, quite memorable. Alas, long since discontinued.

SIFF founders Dan Ireland & Darryl MacDonald were laying the foundation for the SIFF we know today.

The Moore Egyptian was in the midst of a Warner Brothers greatest movies festival, which was a deep well to draw from. Warners provided freshly struck prints, which in those years was as good as we were going to get.

Goodness, don’t overlook ROUND MIDNIGHT (H Exit), SOMETHING WILD (G45), FLOATING WEEDS (GI) or BLACK NARCISSIST (Market)

Nice joke, but will Washington get actual disaster relief from this regime?

Only did that once, and didn’t announce beforehand, but the audience enjoyed the surprise. Also meant going from black & white to color print, which would look better if done digitally. Oh well.

At the University Cinema, the double bill of CASABLANCA & PLAY IT AGAIN SAM gave us the opportunity to switch from reel 4 of CASABLANCA to the opening credits of PIAS as Woody was reacting to the 5th & final reel of that classic right to the end.

BREAKING AWAY (7 Gables) & SOLDIER OF ORANGE (Ridgemont) both deserve a shout out, SITTING DUCKS (Broadway) deserves it’s obscurity.

While I would have preferred a monorail, Seattle is lucky to have the light rail system that is there now.
