When Lillian Gish left us for eternity she left $8 million dollars to be given to the person who most advances the art of the cinema. To advance something we must take it to its highest point and then move it forward. Lillian Gish’s films were shown in 5,000 seat cinemas at legitimate theatre prices. THE CINEFORUM/THE PUBLIC ENEMY does not have 5,000 seats. It has 15. For these programs the prices are based on those charged at THE ROYAL ALEXANDRA THEATRE. All programs will be introduced by Reg Hartt. Jane Jacobs: The best part of what Reg Hartt offers is what he to say. No one ever said that of David Mirvish or Garth Drabinsky.
