Movie star or pop star status would be just fine. _ Jenny delivers in the Faraday and Tatlock area of the city and attends grade 8 at Centennial public school. Jenny‘s future aims also involve helping people in any way she can, because it‘s something she likes to do. And we think that‘s pretty "neat stuff * too, Jenny. * She enjoys acting, singing, sports, reading and yes, doing homework, where math is a favorite subject. Jenny is quite the athlate, participatâ€" ing in badminton, ringette, baseball, skiing and track and field, where she won a bronze medal last year in the 100m hurdles for Waterioo County. One of Jenny‘s favorite trips was to Washington, D.C. where there was ‘‘lots of neat stuff" to see. The recently held Bow!l for Millions campaign to raise funds for Big Brothers was once again a successful venture. This in part is due to the excellent coverage and publicity you afforded this event. A sincere thanks from Big Brothers for your Community minded spirit and speâ€" cificially your support of Big Brothers in this area. Bowl for Millions again huge success LETTERS Red Cross acknowledges strong support Tuesday, Feb. 26, 1985 our Branch Annual Meeting was held and special mention was made to acknowledge the support our services received over the year from the community companies, newspapers etc. They are all very neat little options of the ‘80s that will provide us with all the entertainment we‘ll ever need without having to get up from the Laâ€"Zâ€"Boy. In time, they will find a way to tear our tickets, flashlight us to our recliners from the dinner table, and maybe pop our popcorn as well. Generally speaking, Iâ€"have no real problem acceptingâ€"the concept ofâ€"home videos, Pay TV, and satellite dishes. _ To my dismay, however, these added conveniences will also likely speli the end of the good oldâ€"fashioned movie house, the heart and soul of Yourtown, Ont. For so many of us, the place where the action was on any given Friday or Saturday night as we grew up. . Theatre folks can point all they want to encouraging figures supporting the industry, claiming movieâ€"goers are creating big screen bonanzas like never before. Perhaps, but it‘s just not the same anymore, what with those airy modern mall movie houses or mazeâ€"like multiâ€"screen facilities with one box office and 14 match boxes. What I‘m worried about is the fate of the good oldâ€"fashioned Main Street movie house, a tradition cornerstoned by at least five of the following feaâ€" tures: a) the box office must be manned by an old lady with a dishwater blonde beehive haircut, pointyâ€"framed glasses attached to a pearly string, who, if you are a student trying to get as a child, will tell you you are too old, and who, if you are a student trying to get into your first restricted movie, will ask for 43 proofs of age. b) the ticket taker must be dressed in an illâ€"fitting outfit that bears an uncanny resemblance to the way you were dressed as best man at your brother‘s wedding. He/she will tear off the bottom right quarter of your stub, will hand you back the rest for no reason, and your pants will get a permanent blue stain when they go through the wash with said useless stub having been left in your pocket. He will also tell you to line up against the right wall in two‘s only, so you will be so far away from those coming out of the early show, they won‘t be able to tell you how rotten the movie was. c) the snack bar attendant must be a student who is studying for an exam tomorrow, and therefore will be alterâ€" nately pouring your large cola and flipping through a biology textbook. The counter will have %,â€"foot frontage, will be fourâ€"deep in patrons when the nationâ€" al anthem starts playing, the countertop will be sticky, the licorice twists almost inseparable and no, they won‘t have any carrying boxes for your order of four large corns, three pops, two bars and We would like to thank you for all the WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20. Dennis Koebel, Bow! for Millions Tradition glosette raisins. d) being the adventuresome sort, you will immediately race up to the balcony, various schemes in tow, only to be confronted by a ‘‘balcony closed‘" sign. You will then walk into the ground level, where every seat in the back six rows will be occupied. â€" e) by ritual, you check the bottom of your seat. Confident that no one from the early show has stuck gum on it, you go to sit down, only to find gum on the bottom of your shoe where you stopped to check for gum on your seat. f) there will be no one within 32 rows of you and your date as you settle in. Just before the feature, two obnoxious teenâ€" agers will come and sit in the two seats beside you, and likely burp. g) the national anthem must be played before each feature, not just when the theatre folks feel like it. It will be accompanied by a panoramic view of how Canada was 30 years ago, and a giant hair will flicker across the screen until the anthem is over. There must then be a National Film Board feature on the tribal rights of the Munga Munga civilization and how we as Canadians are affected by those rights, and then there will be a Betty Boop cartoon, and three peeks at films that are showing at theatres not as near to you as the theatre would have you believe. h) the feature is then announced, and you have a driving desire to go to the washroom. i) the ticket taker, now with nothing else to do, will grab a flashlight, come down the aisle, and embarrass you to no end by telling you to get your loafers off the chair in front of you, so they won‘t have to scrape the gum from more than one place. j) the most crucial line in the Bob Hope/Phyllis Diller classic will be coming up, and a theatre voiceâ€"over will interrupt to tell you the snack bar attendant has finished studying and will be going home in five minutes. You race out for another licorice, and the lineup, again, is four deep. k) the movie ends, and you finally get to go to the washroom, where the lineup is also four deep. The biology text is conspicuous by its absence. Joke as we may, it will be a sad day indeed if The Last Picture Show arrives in Yourtown. Old fashioned movie houses represent a place where we can go, a temporary retreat. We need them‘! The world would simply not be the same without oversized tuxedos, stale licorice, Betty Boop and gummed up loafers. To say nothing of the fleeting hope that someday, that darn balcony may be open. coverage our services have received through the Waterloo Chronicle over the year.
