The series will include screenings of \u2018L.A. Confidential,\u2019 \u20189 to 5,\u2019 \u2018North by Northwest\u2019 and a \u2018Mary Poppins\u2019 sing-a-long in June at the Los Angeles and Million Dollar Theatres<\/p>\n
Los Angeles Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and celebrating L.A.\u2019s historic and cultural landmarks, is hosting its annual film screening series, Last Remaining Seats, throughout June, celebrating classic Hollywood movies and theaters.<\/p>\n
The Last Remaining Seats program began in 1987 and aims to appreciate the historic theaters in Downtown L.A. that are often unused.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, the Los Angeles Theatre will be hosting a Mary Poppins sing-along at 1 p.m. and an L.A. Confidential screening at 7 p.m. On June 20, the Million Dollar Theatre will screen 9 to 5 at 1 p.m. and Alfred Hitchcock\u2019s North by Northwest at 7 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as the lights dim, the movie magic begins with restored Fabulous Fleischer Cartoons from the creator of Betty Boop, Max Fleischer. Before 9 to 5, A SONG A DAY, a cartoon from 1936, will play, a musical featuring Boop herself. Before North by Northwest, Popeye will make an appearance in the slapstick cartoon THE PANELESS WINDOW WASHER from 1937.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moviegoers are encouraged to dress for the occasion on the theme for each movie. L.A. Conservancy has also partnered with Merch Motel to create a limited-edition merchandise collection available for purchase. A question-and-answer session about the history of the historic theaters will follow each screening.<\/p>\n
