February 24: Labyrinth
I wonder if that's a dress-up-and-sing-along show.

The fact that "Labyrinth" is on the list makes me absurdly happy.

I love the Palace's movie series - in concept. But they need to get the technical details sorted out in advance, get the projection and screen sorted out. Dim projection and things cropped off the bottom of the screen... did nobody actually check it before pushing the button?

In regards to the screen cropping, etc - that is primarily because we show everything on original 35mm film. Throughout the years, scope sizes and various other settings would change from decade to decade so we might show a film that is Cinemascope but one or 2 of the previews we show that night is in a different range, so you will get little adjustments that have to be made. That is all handled live by our projectionist. Also some film is old and simply projects dimmer than another perhaps less used piece of film that we will show on the same evening.
As we move into a digital age it is something that doesn't happen much anymore, but of course we love the classic 35mm film!

There doesn't seem to be any info on the Palace Theatre website about the season pass for the film series. @Palace Theatre, can you fill us in?

I just called the Box Office- you can order the season pass through Ticket Master for $48 and change or you can call them and purchase the pass over the phone ($37.50 as stated above).

It sounds like a good bunch of films that you've got scheduled at the Albany Palace, and the fact that "West Side Story" is again among them is great. I attended a showing of West Side Story (the film) at the Albany Palace five years ago last April, spent the night at a nearby hotel, and had a great time. I like the Albany Palace, because it's a beautiful venue.
