size=2>We hope we have you all whipped into a veritable feeding frenzy for
this movie! As many of you know, I was doing "extra promotion" during the
showing of the excellent preview for it! Musicals always do well at The Avon,
and this PG-rated and "family friendly" throwback to the GREASE and BYE, BYE
BIRDIE era will have something for everyone! See John Travolta as you have never
seen him before<EM> (some of you know just what I mean too!)</EM> and the cast
of Michelle Pfeiffer <EM>(good to see this babe back on the screen)</EM> and
Christopher Waken <EM>(always welcome) </EM>with a stunning young cast and
always-singable tunes, make this a "don't-miss" Avon event!!<BR>

POTTER fever is at an all-time high right now with the upcoming release of the
last book in the series this coming Saturday. This is said to be one
of the best, if not THE best of the 5 films (so far), and still going strong in
its 2nd week. It is also said it can stand alone as a good movie too even if you
are not aware of all the back-story. Great action and fine performances.<BR>

color=#0000ff><STRONG><U>SOME WORDS FROM THE HEAD
HONCHO...<BR></U></STRONG><FONT size=3>Is The Avon
"changing"?</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3>Well, aside from the subtle
and almost-unnoticed change of our name from <U>"The Avon Theatre"</U> to<U>
"Huston's Avon Theatre 3"</U> (how many of you can remember when it was
called--for a short time-- <U>"The Avon Cinema"</U> back in the '80's?),
yes, we ARE "changing" a bit...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3>But I prefer to use the
term <EM>"evolving"</EM> instead of merely "changing".<BR></FONT><FONT
face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3>I have never considered that we were
an "art" theater. I have always insisted we are an "alternative" theater that
caters to the "upscale commercial" clientele...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3>But, even <U>that</U> is
"evolving".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3>We have a unique ability to
play the "BIG" movies at the same time as those dreaded "other guys", and there
are times of the year (specifically Summer and Winter) when we need to hit that
option as hard as we possibly can! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3>Does that mean we have left
our loyal art & indy supporters behind??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3>ABSOLUTELY
NOT!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3>You all saw that I managed
to squeeze in WAITRESS, and I continue to find "holes" in the release
schedules where we can bring the non-mainstream films for those of you who want
them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3>BUT, we are not a
"non-profit" organization wherein we can exist solely on grants and
donations!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3>We have to EARN our money!!
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3>And that means
getting EVERYONE to come!!<BR>(And playing a steady diet of art & indy
films will not pay the bills!).<BR><BR>So, the next time you think we have
turned our back on our original core audiences, keep in mind those facts, and
don't forget this too:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3>>>We must send a huge
percentage of our ticket sales BACK to the studios!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3>>>We do not exist on
ticket sales alone.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=3>This is why I
so shamelessly push our popcorn and hot-dogs!<BR>Soooooooo, if you LOVE The
Avon (and I hope most of you do) BUY MORE POPCORN!!!!!!!!!!<BR><BR>After all, it
IS the BEST movie theater popcorn you have even tasted, right??<BR>Don't you
want some RIGHT NOW???</FONT></DIV>
