Singer and Recording artist, Tony Kishman is the creator and bandleader of “Live And Let Die”; a full multimedia experience celebrating the music of Paul McCartney and featuring four multi-talented musicians with an orchestral component. Tony starred for six years in both the national and international tours of Broadway’s smash hit musical, ‘Beatlemania’ and also performs in the International Symphonic Beatles production, ‘Classical Mystery Tour’. He has been performing his award-winning show to the most successful band of all time around the globe for more than a decade, bringing the music and the magic of both the Beatles and Paul McCartney to a new generation, earning raves by ‘Beatlemaniacs’ for his uncanny resemblance both visually and vocally to the beloved Beatle.

This evening is a double feature.
THIS IS SPINAL TAP • Back To The 80s-Channel Surfing in the Central New York Mulitiverse
This Is Spinal Tap is a satirical mock rockumentary. “This Is Spinal Tap” shines a light on the self-contained universe of a metal band struggling to get back on the charts, including everything from its complicated history of ups and downs, gold albums, name changes and undersold concert dates, along with the full host of requisite groupies, promoters, hangers-on and historians, sessions, release events and those special behind-the-scenes moments that keep it all real.
Back To The 80s-Channel Surfing in the Central New York Mulitiverse A short film that takes zany look at central New York in the 80s and beyond. Featured in the film are musicians, comments from people who remember the 80s and a whole bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with the 80s. The locally produced film will also feature a short live musical performance by Avec Sentiments.
Come down to the Capitol Theatre for the annual favorite CLASSIC HORROR DOUBLE FEATURE. This year’s double feature is all about Frankenstein (Frankenstein’s monster, of course!) as we will screen:
House of Frankenstein (Universal, 1944; b&w, 71 min.; digital presentation [DCP];
Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (Universal, 1948; b&w, 83 min.; digital presentation [DCP]).
House of Frankenstein stars Boris Karloff as a mad doctor who inadvertently brings Dracula (John Carradine) back to life, before encountering the Frankenstein monster (Glenn Strange) and the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney, Jr.). Others in the cast of the Erle C. Kenton-directed movie include J. Carrol Naish, Eleana Verdugo, and horror icons Lionel Atwill and George Zucco. “A wonderful Universal B-horror; the first of the all-star monster fests. Lots of fun with J. Carrol Naish almost stealing the show as the hunchback Daniel.” –Journal & Courier, Lafayette, Indiana.
Directed by Charles Lamont, the last of Universal’s monster epics was an affectionate take-off of the genre, Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein. In this, generally considered to be one of the best horror film parodies ever made, Bud Abbott & Lou Costello become unwittingly involved with Dracula (Bela Lugosi), who wants to transplant Lou’s brain to the Frankenstein monster (Glenn Strange)! Of course, also along for the ride, is the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney, Jr.). This marks the second and final time Bela Lugosi played Dracula in a feature film. “All-time great horror-comedy still works beautifully, mainly because the monsters play it straight.” –Leonard Maltin’s Movie & Video Guide.
Saturday, November 5, 2:30 & 7:00 (both features shown at each show)
COMEDY CLASSICS DOUBLE FEATURE:
It’s a Gift (Paramount, 1934; B&W, 73 minutes) Digital presentation (DCP)
The Road to Morocco (Parmount, 1942; B&W, 83 minutes) Digital presentation (DCP).
Two of the greatest comedies from Hollywood’s golden age. First, W.C. Fields is a small-town grocer with dreams of owning a California orange grove in It’s a Gift. Directed by Norman Z. McLeod, the cast also includes Baby LeRoy, Kathleen Howard, Tommy Bupp, Charles Sellon, and T. Roy Barnes. Sponsored by the Keaton & Lloyd Bookshop, who invite you to find out how Carl LaFong got his name!
“Beautiful comedy routines in one of he Great Man’s unforgettable films.****” –-Leonard Maltin’s TV and Video Guide
The second feature will be the funniest of the Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour “road” films, The Road to Morocco. Directed by the always quirky David Butler, the ridiculous plot has Bing and Bob stranded in Morocco, where Bob becomes engaged to, but Bing falls in love with, Dorothy Lamour, which enrages her prospective husband, the murderous Mullay Kasim (Anthony Quinn). Songs include “Moonlight Becomes You” (the runaway hit of the season), and the title tune.
“…a bubbling, spontaneous entertainment without a semblance of sanity; an uproarious patchquilt of gags, old situations and a blitz-like laugh pace that never lets up for a moment.” –Variety
Both movies suitable for general audiences.
Adults $7, seniors/students/military $6, Capitol Friends $5, children 12 and under $3.
Rome’s Capitol Theatre will screen a six-movie series, The Great American Novel, in the 1928 auditorium beginning September 24. Presented in conjunction with Jervis Public Library and the Keaton & Lloyd Bookshop, the series will focus on critically-acclaimed American movies based on classic American novels.
Giant (Warner Bros., 1956; Technicolor; 201 minutes) Directed by George Stevens, Edna Ferber’s epic1952 novel covering two generations of Texas oil families was brought to the screen four years later; the resulting movie was Warner Bros. biggest grossing production to date and would be nominated for 10 Oscars. Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean (in his last screen role) star. “An excellent film which registers strongly on all levels, whether its in its breathtaking panoramic shots of the dusty Texas plains; the personal, dramatic impact of the story itself, or the resounding message it has to impart.” –Variety.
