The Tower theatre is a stronghold of intellectual freedom and investigation of human experience dedicated to the expression and enjoyment of art on the screen.
The motion pictures it displays are the long needed rain after a drought; the warm winds of summer and the cold of winter; the excitement of a first kiss and the despair of a disappointed passion; the noise of children and the loneness of an empty room.
The regular patrons care more about living than existing. They are discriminating prefer poetic honesty to cheap spectacle, and digest realism for dinner, fantasy for desert.
The management politely refuses admittance to the immature and undesirable, thereby protecting both the customer and the community. Tanya Carroll and her associates are people of stature; intelligent, imaginative, and insistent upon excellence in themselves and their theatre.
Presently showing at the Tower is “Gigot” in which Jackie Gleason does practically everything. He wrote th story, composed the music, is tons of fun as the large, lovable deaf mute of Paris.
When Gleason keeps his thundering yap shut, he is a very sensitive, effective performer. In “Gigot” he's like a Charlie Chaplin, moving the audience periodically from laughter to the handkerchief. If you've never been to the Tower, this movie would be good for a starter.
