the lobby into a narrow 30-foot by 55-foot rectangular theater to find Clark Gable hulking and handsome playing dia-mond-in-the-rough Blackie Norton on a 12-foot-square screen in vintage 1936 AND THIS WEEK you can see "Grand (1932) with the legendary Greta Garbo and John Barrymore whose profile is every bit as good as your mother and grandmother said it was Coming March 12 is Stagecoach (1939) with
