She left no doubt

It's a shame there was no room on the marquee for Patricia Collinge, who was outstanding as one Charlie's sister and another Charlie's mother in Shadow of a Doubt. Excellent movie. She was equally compelling in another film a few years earlier: The Little Foxes, also starring Teresa Wright, along with Bette Davis and other luminaries of the screen.

"Kimo" cannot be right

I first thought seeing this, thinking "Kino" obviously more appropriate for a cinema, but was I wrong. The Albuquerque Journal in 1927 launched a contest to name the theatre provided the entries were an "Indian word" no more than six letters in length. The winning submission was Kimo, "mountain lion" or "king of beasts" in the Tewa language of the native Pueblo.
