Reflecting on the memories of the golden age of Hollywood, it gives the feeling that there is no such place like a movie theater to celebrate the birth of film from an artist. "The greatest emotion I have ever had in my life took place in the dark" and not in front of a smartphone or television. I have decided to spotlight the grandiose movie palaces to the independent movie houses. This is Cinema.
Photographer Klaus Frahm has given us a startling view of some of Europe's beautiful theatres in his series The Fourth Wall.
Closed in 1977, Loew's King Theatre, one of five "Loew's Wonder Theaters", was built on Flatbush Ave in 1929.

Closed in the late 1950s, the lobby converted to retail space by the early 1960s, and the auditorium was being as a warehouse.
Built in 1926, the Loew’s Canal Theatre and housed 2,300 seats.
Our own Devereau Chumrau has been killing it as Hunter in the West Coast premiere of the stage version of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. Not only have the dedicated Gaiman and Neverwhere fans been sounding their support and love (here and here), but the LA Times chimed in with its own review. And then, Gaiman himself made it to the show last night, staying to hang out for a couple hours afterwards with the cast and crew.
@devereauchumrau loved spending time talking to you!

With such a great collection of talent, it isn't surprising that the show has had an extra performance night (Thursdays) add and that the run has been extended 2 weeks until May 25.
If you want to go, just get your tickets online ahead of time as it is very often sold out.
Devereau Chumrau as "Hunter" in Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere at Sacred Fools Theater.
Our own Devereau Chumrau got some great publicity from Neil Gaiman himself when he share this picture of her from the production of his Neverwhere at Sacred Fools Theater in Hollywood. We couldn't be prouder.
Our own Devereau Chumrau, along with a tremendously strong cast and Herculean crew are putting on a stunning new production of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere at Sacred Fools Theater in Hollywood, opening April 5, running through May 11.

Act III, Sc. 2
by Jorie Graham
Look she said this is not the distance
we wanted to stay at—We wanted to get
close, very close. But what
is the way in again? And is it
too late? She could hear the actions
rushing past—but they are on
another track. And in the silence,
or whatever it is that follows,
there was still the buzzing: motes, spores,
aftereffects and whatnot recalled the morning after.
Then the thickness you can’t get past called waiting.
Then the you, whoever you are, peering down to see if it’s done yet.
Then just the look on things being looked-at.
Then just the look of things being seen.
Graham is a powerhouse of contemporary American poetry. When you start to become enamored of her thoughtful and open mind, the turn her words make, you can also begin to sense the vast continent of her work you have to yet encounter reaching out to you through even her simplest of lines.

All of these astounding photos of gorgeous Paris theaters are from Paris-born photographer Frank Bohbot. I wish I knew the names of each of them. Anyone recognize any of them?
When Dina Johnson and her husband moved to Serbia, it was a "leaving it all behind" move. But she quickly found something to use her impressive publishing industry experience on. She approached the National Theater in Belgrade, proposing to do a portrait project, to result in a photo book.
That photo book is called The Unseen Beauty.
"The main thing was to actually make their portraits, to show how gracious and glamorous they are. Most of them did not have their professional photos taken for many years and I wanted to correct this mistake. I felt so good seeing how happy they were when they saw The Unseen Beauty book. I still get very emotional when I think about it." - Dina Johnson
„The Unseen Beauty" is a Photo Book by Dina Johnsen. It is devoted to the stars of the The National Theatre in Belgrade.
