Makes me wonder how a little cinema at a very small town called Pomona in Queensland will fare. Their speciality is showing silent films, and films from the '30's, so of course they still have film projection and sound equipment. Makes those old prints something to be cherished even more...

There used to be a theater around here that would play those films. It's gone. There's still one over in Durham that does a couple of "film festivals" every year which might include this film, but you can't just buy a ticket to see the one film in the festival you might want to watch, you have to buy a package for the whole thing and the prices are outrageously inflated. I mean "gold circle" seats for a Rolling Stones tour inflated! Unless it gets posted to YouTube or I happen to see the DVD at the checkout one night when I'm buying groceries, I'm not going to see that "film".
