@ KATHY M. (OGoC&J):
Well,
as you can see,
I am late myself answering your comment, due to the flu, and some other bug I caught afterwards...
A challenging winter so far,
I must say...
Glad you enjoyed the tour.
My memories are full of colors,
and I try to let people partake in that.

Ticklebear ... this post is most EXCELLENT! Thank you for all of the time you spent getting everything researched and gathered together. I loved seeing these theaters and appreciate all the movie clips too.

Sorry I'm late on getting here, but I sure am glad that I didn't miss this one.

Have a great weekend,

Kathy M.

There's some kind of magic to these old places, like they put you under a spell, if you let them. And I was more than willing!!

Another tour de force post, :-) I can remember how a grand cinema could change a mediocre or even bad movie into a memorable experience. Can't do that in today's unadorned movieplexes.

This is the first I hear that you'll be back... but don't tardy! I trust those embedded things like my own mother... If only you knew her, you'd understand what I mean here...

Come back quick!!
That's all I'll say...

Who would want that???

Django is more analitycal.

It's all a matter of taste.

OMG! You did it again! What an interesting post! Maybe in my next life I will be fortunate enough to 'find myself' in a large city with some 'taste'.
I absolutely love Latcho Drom! They remind me a bit of Django Reinhardt.

@ CHRISTINE H.:
What can I say?
In real life,
I'm not an extrovert.
This blog might be misleading
that way...
And I used to shy away from cameras when I was a kid. I still do!!
:D~
But this blog is about me,
and about my beloved Montreal.
And I believe
I gave you a fair glimpse
of what it's all about.
It is rich in culture here.
Glad you enjoyed,
even if I wasn't directly involved in it. I did share my experiences in this matter. You can still get a peek at me, sort of...

I will admit that I was initially a little bit disappointed because I came here convinced that you would have a number of pictures of yourself in dramatic productions over the years. Darn. Anyway, I got over it pretty quickly because, as usual, you posted a stunning array of beautiful photographs.

That building doesn't ring a bell, but if you provide me with some pics, I could possibly do some research.

The Polish movie, when I saw it a l'Outremont, there were subtitles... Sorry!!

2012-01-29T14:13:30.856-05:00

Very interesting and when I saw the picture of the Rialto I thought of what I said to Bob Scotney about so many theatres everywhere having the same names. I looked up the definition of "Rialto." Besides being a commercial center in Venice and a bridge spanning the Grand Canal, it says the definition is "the theatre district of a city or town, especially the area around Broadway in New York City."

Oh you must go to the Rialto! especially the first...

2012-01-29T09:57:34.140-05:00

Oh you must go to the Rialto! especially the first photo of it is so inviting....then you show the magical view inside, yes it should be a must! The artwork is excellent too. I enjoyed your clips, actually started reading this yesterday before I had to go, and was in the middle of the one that I couldn't understand what they were saying of course, but she especially spoke with a tone that made you want to hear more! Do you know of a building called Time Being in Canada somewhere, I'd have to research our trip, but I saw it as a young child (mostly remember it from pictures we took) but I do remember loud music pouring out of it... Thanks I so enjoyed my time at your theatres!

We are considered one of the many cultural capitals of this small planet, after all!!

Dreyfuss had an interesting career.

Looking back at movies from previous decades is fascinating. It has always been a constant in my life, movies... and music too!! I need a dose of make-believe.

Don't we all?!?

2012-01-28T18:34:16.999-05:00

@ KRISTIN:
The movie is/was only available in VHS format. If you have an old VHS player, maybe you could look at repertoire video store. It was directed by Tony Gatlif in 1993. Truly a remarkable movie, as far as I am concerned... The music is intoxicating, but the story is not pretty. Their reality over time is/was harsh. You feel for them!!
Good luck finding it. If you do ever watch it, I'm sure you'll thank me for mentioning this.

The research was done earlier in the week, but I had no idea what I would write.

The Goodbye Girl, a single working mother rents out a bedroom to this bohemian that waltz into her life, hers and her daughter's. A lovely story!!

@ PEGGY (QMM):
I think I would love this space you're talking about. And it reminds me of something. If you remember, a while back, I talked in SS about Expo'67, and I mentioned how the French pavilion turned from from that exhibit to a museum to finally a casino, as it is nowaday. But before it became a museum, this was turned into a large restaurant with great cuisine and... opera singers!! The decor was grand, the acoustic was amazing, the repertoire divine!! Thanks for triggering this memory. Nothing like lobster and champagne and an aria to make me smile!!

I think the old theaters are/were a lot more fun than the new ones. The seats in the new ones seem more ergonomic though.
