See Roman Holiday and save an historic theatre

Every year the Los Angeles Conser- vancy has a "Last Remaining Seat" event, where beautiful, historic theatres in Los Angeles are re-opened to screen classic movies and raise money to keep these theatres in good order. This year Roman Holiday will be screened at the fantastic Los Angeles Theatre in downtown L.A. on May 30th. In the age of ugly, utilitarian box theatres it's utterly amazing to see such an elaborate building set up to just sit and watch a movie. The ornate detail in every little thing shows just how big a deal it was to go out to the movies, and it's sad that we've lost that charm along the way. If you can make it to the screening, please do! Let us know what it's like to see a beautiful film in a beautiful setting. Click here for ticket information.
