Jackson Theater

I love it here. I think it’s soooo cool.
Makes me imagine what this place was 50 years ago. Was this where Les Paul and Alfred Hitchcock went to see a movie? Can you see the public drawing in to see a silent film with the orchestra playing to the side? Hey there’s a man in a tuxedo taking your ticket — still there. might be the same guy.
One of the largest theaters I’ve ever been in. 1000 seats in the main auditorium, look up and you will see that magnificent ceiling. The screen is tremendous. Unfortunately, the picture quality is a little unsettling at first. There is definitely something left to be desired there. There are also spanish subtitles. It’s distracting at first, buy hey, I am learning Spanish.
If this was restored, it would be the one of the best theaters in the city. There is such potential. How do I get this a government grant?
5 dollars before 5pm and the Matinée shows. 8 dollars otherwise. Do I really want IMAX here to double the price? It’s rundown, but more important to me, it’s got its charm. Bring on the 1 star reviews.
