Mayfair saved

I am extremely glad that Lee Gordon Demarbre and some other investors have stepped up to save Ottawa's oldest Theatre. The Mayfair is a beautiful old school, theatre, they don't build them like this anymore. I have two very vivid memories of being at the Mayfair theatre from this year alone. The first being an extra in the Odessafilmworks project Smashcut featuring many legends of horror. A few scenes were filmed inside the Mayfair theatre (incidentally the Smashcut world premiere is apparently set for February in Germany). The second memory I have from this year is of going to the Mayfair's showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show this Halloween. An amazing interactive experience. There was concern that with the upcoming closure of the theatre by present owners that this might be the last time of this long established Halloween tradition. I imagine maverick movie moguls like Lee and his partners will keep this thing going for years to come.
