Page 4, Columbia Chronicle Editoridls I EDIT'QIJIALS I Saving a landmark In the early days of films, during the 1920's, going to see a movie was a magnificent experience. Movie-goers went not only to see the film, but to see the movie theater as well. These theaters were literally movie palaces. Greek marble columns rose to high-level painted ceilings. Glorious grand stair cases lured movie-goers up to beautiful balconies. These theaters were powerful with grandeur and style. But times changed and the movie palaces didn't. Today, the typical movie theater is a box with seats, a mu lti-screen complex built in or near a shopping mall, like Water Tower Place in the ci ty or Yorktown in the suburbs. Today, the Chicago Theater, once the grandest of this ci ty's movie palaces, languishes in disrepair and threatened with demolition. The theater is a victim of greed and a changing downtown. The North loop was once the city's entertainment district. But the entertainment and the people have moved further north, leaving the Chicago Theater behind. Now, the theater's owners, Thomas Klutzn ick and Henry Plitt, of the Plitt Theater chain, want to tear down the 64-year old landmark. larry Horist, executive director of the City Club of Chicago, has a $20 million plan to revive the grand old theater and to turn A landmark: The Chicago Theater the adjoining Page Building into a movie museum.
