P.S. The Senator will reopen under new management...soon, hopefully. Gorgeous theatre.
P.P.S Some footage viewable at the end of this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEctWVF4J_w
That is a gorgeous theater- I hope it reopens. There's a theater near me (also Art Deco) that was built in 1935 and it was recently saved from the brink and completely restored. It had been deserted for several years and it now has live shows and classic films, with the help of many donations and a sponsorship from a local car dealership. http://www.earlsmithstrand.org/ I hope the same thing happens for The Senator.
I have to admit I got goosebumps while watching that clip! There is just nothing like the theatrical experience. I loved seeing the British Board of Film Censors tag at the beginning.
