THS member Tim Wagner at the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY (which we visited during our 1999 Conclave during which he was a volunteer) tells us that they are going to be doing a film series of movies with movie theatres shown. He wonders if other THS members might be able to help compile a list. To encourage you we’ll have a little contest, as suggested by our Publications Director Ken Bloom who already has submitted two film names. The member who sends the most movie titles will win a 2012 THS Conclave DVD as soon as it is ready. Submit your list by Wednesday August 15 to Richard Sklenar at THS HQ via commoutreach@historictheatres.org We’ll pass the total list on to Tim and keep a file in the Archives.
