I call it
the Hink’s theater, because before the movie theaters
were there, it was the Hink’s Department store - wooden
floors and balcony’s on the mezzanine level. The theaters
are particularly pleasant, with Egyptian and Oriental
themes |

Another of
Berkeley's film rep houses. There were many more when
I first moved here in 1984. The first time I ever saw
Casablanca was with Jane Budimir, one of my Chevron co-workers,
at a small upstairs theater on Telegraph Avenue just below
Dwight Way. There used to be twin theaters in the La Val's
complex in North Berkeley.
Fine Arts Cinema will be part of a new complex by Patrick
Kennedy in a few years. |

FIrst run
art films in Berkeley's Arts District. In the past few
years the sidewalk has been widened, trees were put in,
and restaurants have tables and chairs ala Paris. It's
a real treat, and would be great to see in other neighborhoods
too. |

A terrific
place to go on a date, with your your significant others...
and infants. They have Baby Brigade Night on Monday Nights...
where parents with infants (usually persona non grata
in movie theaters) reign supreme. It’s a very comfortable
place to go, with tables, sofas, and easy chairs. Lucy
The Cat rates it 4 paws up! |

Beautifully

went to a movie there once, and it was introduced by a
kindly docent. A very comfortable place to watch interesting
movies.... or listening to a radio show.. In just a few
hours, West Coast Live (www.wcl.org) will broadcast from
the theater as part of its travels across the bay |
