Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.
The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-be to the old building. theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.
Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location(位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”
Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.
The theater audience said good-by as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.
上一部电影昨天在广场剧院结束几分钟后,员工们正忙于清扫爆米花和收集可乐杯。这一幕在剧院75年的历史中被重复了很多次。然而,这次的清理工作有点不同。当一组工人搬运垃圾时,另一组工人开始拆除座位和其他剧院设备,为大楼的结束做准备。
经典电影《最后的电影秀》是老剧院放映的最后一部电影。尽管这部电影已经有30年的历史了,但250个座位上的大多数观众都热泪盈眶,想向这座老建筑说声再见。剧院老板埃德·布拉德福德说,他选择这部电影是因为它看起来很合适。这部电影发生在一个小镇上,那里唯一的电影院正准备关闭。
布拉德福德说,该市的大型现代化剧院使广场无法与之竞争。他补充说,剧院的位置(位置) 也是一个原因。“这里曾经是市中心,”他说。“现在这个地区主要是办公楼和仓库。”
上周,一些市政府官员表示,市政府可能有兴趣将这座老剧院改造成博物馆和公众集会场所。然而,由于财政问题,这些计划被放弃了。布拉德福德将这座建筑和土地出售给了当地的一家开发公司,该公司计划在剧院所在的土地上建造一个购物中心。
当布拉德福德最后一次锁门时,剧院的观众说再见。75年后,广场剧院放映了最后一部电影。剧院将被错过。
