Season's Screenings

(From The Hartford Courant -- By Susan Dunne)

The presents are opened. Ornaments are broken. The stockings lie empty on the candy-wrapper-strewn floor. The phone calls have been made. The ham is history.

After weeks of preparation, everything you had planned to do on Christmas is done. The afterglow has turned into tedium. Even the dog is bored.

But the night is young. How to fill the hours?

In increasing numbers, Americans are jumping in the car and going to the movies around the holidays.

"There's nothing a family enjoys together more than to be told a story gathered around a fire," says ZVI COLE, spokesman for CROWN THEATRES, which has two locations in Hartford.

"Going to a movie and all sharing the story is basically the same thing."
