CONFIDENTIAL ALMANAC | Dates in Film Culture History<\/strong><\/p>\n

30 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Thursday, February 12, 1987:<\/em> TURTLE DIARY<\/strong>, a quirky British comedy written by Harold Pinter<\/strong> and starring Ben Kingsley<\/strong> and Glenda Jackson<\/strong>, is shown at the New Art Theatre<\/strong> on opening night, according to The Art Theater: Playing Movies for 100 Years<\/span><\/strong> by Perry Morris<\/strong>, et al<\/em>. After reaching a deal on New Year\u2019s Day<\/strong> to purchase the vintage Park\/Art building at 126 W. Church St.<\/strong> in downtown Champaign<\/strong>, local entrepreneur John Manley<\/strong> enlisted Tom Angelica<\/strong> as general manager and Ron Epple<\/strong> as content programmer to help fix up the location and book quality international cinema for the area\u2019s movie lovers.<\/em> Manley rechristened the venue as the \u201cNew Art\u201d to differentiate it from a previous decade-and-a-half run as an \u201cArt Theater\u201d specializing in adult films. Despite the passing of both Manley and Epple within the next few years, Angelica would keep the New Art in business until February 2003.<\/p>\n
