The Mayfair Theatre

Here in Ottawa, Ontario (Canada), we have been graced. A new owner has stepped forward and saved our recently closed Mayfair Thatre. The theatre had been opened back in 1932, and closed at the beginning of December. The last movie I saw there was The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

It was a repertoir theatre, but somewhere along the way, it got lost in becoming a commercial thatre, basically being a double-feature running theatre, playing Hollywood crap that was fresh out of the big chain thatres. Now, under new management, it's going back to the way it should be. Check out their schedule at http://www.mayfairtheatre.ca/.

James Bond double-bills? Metropolis (with a live band, The Hilotrons, doing the soundtrack)? Machine Girl? Kung-Fu Fridays? Mad Max? I am beside myself in anticipation of going tonight to catch Metropolis. I joined their group on Facebook, too, because this is super-exciting.
