The Paris Theatre

Where else but the Paris could we see a silent movie made in 2011 about silent movies in the 1930s?  This single-screen theater, across the street from the Plaza, specializes in foreign language (particularly French) films and evokes a time when men wore tuxes and women wore gloves, when going to the pictures was really something special. It has a mezzanine level and blue velvet-covered walls and art deco signage that says "quiet please." Last night, at least one thing remained constant from that earlier time until now: at the end of the movie, everyone clapped.
