This Friday, July 3rd Tune in to
The Anthony McCarthy Show
Hour 2 - on WEAA 88.9FM
Guest:
Tom Kiefaber
Topic:
What's next for The
Historic Senator Theatre?
Tom Kiefaber and his family have owned and operated
Baltimore's renowned Senator Theatre throughout its
illustrious 70 year history. When the recent economic
downturn derailed The Senator Theatre's transition to
not-for-profit ownership and operation, Baltimore City
stepped in and purchased The Senator's defaulted
commercial loan. An increasingly controversial
foreclosure auction is scheduled for July 21st, when
The Senator will be sold to the highest bidder, possibly
one of the churches that have expressed interest in
owning and operating the iconic landmark theatre.
Tom Kiefaber joins Anthony in the second hour to
discuss his historic theatre's uncertain fate, and rising
community concerns that, unlike in the movies, this
cliffhanger may not have a storybook ending.

The Restoration
The basis for this stunning new restoration was a 35mm
print created in 1962 from the original camera negative;
while the print itself was in good physical condition, the
source material from which it was made was extremely
battered. Due to the extensive printing and handling it
had received over its lifetime, many shots were already
starting to shrink and wrap, and there were numerous
scratches, dust, and dirt in the damaged negative.
Scanned at 4k resolution, that 47-year-old print has
been meticulously cleaned both digitally and by
hand, complete with a new seamless soundtrack.
This essential restoration has been made possible by
the Academy Film Archive, the National Film Center of
the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, and
Kadokawa Pictures, Inc., with funding provided by
Kadokawa Cultural Promotion Foundation and
Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation.

Baltimore Theater Faces Foreclosure
By Margaret Foster | Online Only | Mar. 18, 2009
It looks like no one will rescue
The Senator Theatre this time.
A bank announced this month that it will foreclose
on the 1939 Art Deco landmark. The last
movie was screened there on Sunday.
"It's a cliffhanger, kind of like in the movies," says
owner Tom Kiefaber, who won a National Main Street
Award for Business Leadership in 2003. "With all the
negetivity and sorrow and grief over the cessation of
first-run films, I feel more strongly than ever that
The Senator has a viable and economically
stable future ahead of it."
