[KING KONG screens Thursday August 4th at 7:30 pm at the Palace Theatre in Playhouse Square.]
Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.
I’m sorry, whomever got big megabucks in this brokeback town to “re-brand” Playhouse Square as “PlayhouseSquare.” I must assume the intent was to turn browsers towards PlayhouseSquare.com or PlayhouseSquare.org, rather than the fact that it saves money to do away with that extra space between the words. Even so, it’ll always be Playhouse Square to me (until I’m paid to print otherwise).
And Playhouse Square, in its heyday of yesteryear, was not only a live-theater venue of great renown but also a splendid place to catch movies, first-run and in roadshow-revival form, on the wide screen. To revisit – those golden days – and, most appropriately for today’s economic climate, the depths of the Great Depression – check out the original 1933 KING KONG, opening the 2011 summer series of Cinema On The Square this week.
