How about award wln.- nlng Tootale or Gandhi? Maybo you'd like te take la the new Richard Gere flick, Breathless. Al thla for leua than $2 each. Impossible you say. Woll It certalnly la possi- ble te take la these movies as weil as many other recent films for thatunheard of prloe. Cinema Whltby, 1in Brock Street North, bas prepared'a movie rester for the laut haf0f June and al 0f July that willl dazzle even- the :must ardent film buffs., .According te Wbltby Cinema manager Garry Wlce, -the theatre onr- ates on a diffeuren 0 soçhy thansome 0f the larger movie halls. "W're. trylng te sur- vive as an alternative to the big theatres,"Ptho said. "We can't dlaim to be a flrst-run tleatre but, if the people are willlng te wait six to eight weeks, they can. save money by , wat- ching the films bore."P The 28-year-old Wice becamo manager of tbe local cinema whon it opèned Octeber 15 as part of the Bloor Cine- ma chain. It previously had been open as a thea- tre but bad acquired a Durbam Board of Education will spend *30,000 on a five-acro school site on Witby'a Ribblesdale Drive. The achool, which la planned for kindergar- ton through grade eight chlidren, us expected to be la operation by 1966 as construction will be- gin la 19%5. Tfue closot existing sehool te the new site la Florence Heard at Gar- don and Dundas streets which will be torm down eventully. somewhat tarnilshed reputation in town over the years. Wlce ls hoplng to change this Image with an extensive renovation programn. Ho says that every aspect of the thea- tre bas been lmproved since lait October - from a new amplifier, speaker and projector improvements te the soundprooflng of the projectionits bootb, cutting down the back- ground noise. ."4We're also tiring to give "h Interlor a dlean look," sad Wlce. "As. long as the communlty supports us we can con- tinue teupgrade." Wice belleves that the Wbltby- downtown area la a' natural for enter- tainment venues. "Thedowntown areas bas something about it," ho saiM. 1"I1t's not like Oshawa, thjs area bas a certain character about It." Because Whitby bas no competlng theatres, the Whitby Cinema is also able te, land some very rocent popular films such as Oc- tepuasy, a James- Bond thriller. 1 1' According to Wice the most successful films in the theatre bave been family films. Annie sold out wbilo ET, and 'The Empire Strikes Back, as a double bill, packed large crowds la for, a week solid. ' Teens on Patr'ol back in action- Due te the high rate of vandalism in the Dur- ham Reglon, the Teens on Patrol are back la ac- tion. >The Durham Regional Police la the sponsoring agent of this program consisting 0f six teens under the supervision of a project leader. The teens patrol - parks, make vandalism proentaÎtions and or- ganize community events te promote public awareness. The program la in its fifth years and la funded by the Solicitor Generals Office 0f Canada. The purposeo0f the program la: 1) Reduce vandalism, theft and posnlinjury inci- det fparka and roc- reation facilities in Durham Region. 2) To increase community awareness of vandalismn and te heigbten aware- nous of -cltizeng' role in promotlag and main- taining community facilities. à) To involvo* teenagers, the future leaders of our commu- nity, la the program 50 that they may be botter able te accopt and han- dle adult responsibility when participating la conununity affaira. 4) To improve relation- shipe and understanding betweon the commumity youths and the Durham Regional Police Force. The theatre stili gets requests for obscure films but Wlce says it is difficult to accommo- date these. "Witb Whtby's small population, we want to satlsfy wbat the people want te see," he said. "One fellow wanted to see a wbole nlght of Roger Ramjet cartoons. There's just not enougb people on any given nlght te sSe an obscure film."y The age of vldeo prod- ucts and Pay TV la havlng an impact on the movie theatre business on a whole but Wice says thee forma of on- tertainment don't even compare te the excite- ment of watchlng a film on the big se-reon. "Watchlng a big amren bas, sometblng aboti1t," ho sald. 'I don't thln you can ex- perience the fuilImpact 0f a film on a television screen."1 A membersblp at *5 per year ailows you to watcb any film for $199 at tho Whl 'tby Cinema.
