"THAT MOVIE..."

If a film premier's in the woods
And No One REVIEWS it
Does anyone give a Damn?

Some friends sent their genuine regrets:

Wed 4/10/2013 9:58 AM

Hi Larry--
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Sorry I missed the film premier but had a death in the family.  Best wishes for your speedy recovery!
Richard

Good morning, Larry,
We will be thinking of you today and having only good thoughts about your surgery and recovery.
We'll be most anxious to know how everything went. We're so pleased you already have people lined up to help you.
Last night couldn't have been nicer. It was rewarding to us to see your film reach fruition and to see you get the love and admiration you deserve. Kudos!
We felt bad that whenever we tried to talk with you, other people surrounded you; but we wanted you to know how much you mean to us and how we shared your happiness last night.
With our love and best wishes,
Sheila and Richard [Barth]

Hello Larry,
I wanted to send you a note and let you know I'm ill and won't be coming tonight. Dave also has it, he stayed home sick and I was just sent home form work. I am very sad to be missing this since we have been involved all the way through this process! From selling tickets at the first fundraiser to now we have both been excited to see this movie to fruition. I hope you have a great time, even with the hernia! Vincent will be there representing BAT & his film company. I hope that is enough to tide you over till we meet again with both of us in better health!
Danielle Leeber Lucas

Hi Larry I'am glad to hear that your flim is coming out finely, it's about time...
 And about your procedures {surgery] you have no problem pulling througth it, see you when you come back home.
 As for me, I'am not feeling so good, maybe coming down with head cold or something. I don't think i'll be able to make it to your  film debut. Is it possible that your film would be on DVD? Be a way to still see it.
                             Gina

Hi Larry,
It's been a long time since we've been in touch! I'm excited to hear about your movie debut, and I will do my best to attend tonight at the Lyric Stage at 7. Will you be there, or are you under strict orders to stay in bed?!
Terry

DEar Larry,
It is with MUCH heartfelt regret that I tell you that I cannot attend your movie premier tonight. I m vey bummed.  I am committed to speaking tonight at a rally before the big Senate debate tonight up here in Lowell.
It's something I simply cannot get out of.  
I really wanted to see it "on the big screen".  Surrounded by friends is the way to enjoy it.
Have a great time tonight, Larry. No one deserves this more than you for all you have done for so many hard working theatre folk!
[Jerry Bisantz]

Good evening sir! 
I wanted to once again say what a wonderful time I had at the screening, and I was so glad I was able to see it!
You're a movie star now!
[Vincent Morreale]

And old-friends/reviewers Beverly Creasey and Sheila Barth were there, in a tiny but enthusiastic crowd.

I'd say more, but I have a date at 12:30 with a Surgeon named Dan Jones.
Bernice Sim and Barry Andelman have promised there will be other screenings, in case you missed it.
Love,
larry stark

Guess how many THEATRES there are in BOSTON

N I N E?

N I N E T E E N?

T H I R T Y - N I N E?

That's Just In BOSTON, now. Eliminate Cambridge, Newton, Waltham, etc.
Your best guess is what?

Well, I just published:

A
Theater-Lovers' Guide

to the

N I N E T Y

Theatres In Boston

You don't believe me?
Send me ten bucks (about a dime a theatre)
And I'll mail you a copy.
Or ask me next time we're in the same theatre together.
