“Brothels and booze-tents lined the main street of Winnipeg the Wicked.“ In the early era of stage and screen, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada was a microcosm of entertainment as well as the North American hub for the Vaudeville chain Pantages, and a major destination for the Keith and Orpheum performance groups as well. Some performers that graced the Winnipeg stages were everyone from Klondike Kate, to Charlie Chaplin, Roscoe “Fatty“ Arbuckle, Basil Rathbone, and Boris Karloff. One Theatre Way: Movie Palaces and Playhouses is a documentary about Winnipeg's vanishing movie palaces and playhouses and the change in the film-going experience in North America. The film was originally broadcast on TV in the late 1990s and is now available to stream online for the first time, and exclusively from Menduo House on Gumroad through this link:
