Talking in Movie Theatres by Mitch

I have always loved going to the movies. I remember as a child going to some of the old 'Paradise Theatres' in Montreal like the Imperial and the Rialto. Sitting in the grand old theatres - it was rare for there to be even two screens in the theatre...

Drinking From a Fire hose by Mitch
