Topic: Dane Lanken


  
  Razing the Treasurehouses
And It is the sense I get from reading Dane Lanken's Montreal Movie Palaces --launched in early December at the Rialto Theatre-- and the look he gets in his eyes when he discusses the unstoppable erosion of Montreal's cinematic history.
Lanken, a former Montreal Gazette movie critic, was enraged at the planned demolition of the Capitol, arguably the most beautiful theatre on the Island of Montreal.
When a series of angry Gazette articles by Lanken could do nothing to halt the planned demolition, he and his associate, photographer Brian Merrett, spent two melancholy days in the building recording it for posterity.

This is the story of Montreal's movie palaces, as great and ornate as any on the continent, of the businessmen and architects and craftsmen who built them, the masses who flocked to them, of the glory days they knew in their glamourous reign and the hard times they faced with the rise of TV.
Dane Lanken spent twenty years studying Montreal's movie palaces, interviewing the people who were there, searching for rare and previously unpublished archival photographs, and commissioning new views—while the theatres still stood—from leading architectural photographers Brian Merrett and Julie Greto.
The result is a comprehensive and richly illustrated social, artistic, architectural and corporate history of an exuberant and little known era in Montreal's history.

 Music: McGarrigle
So of course Kate's budding, singer-songwriter kids are here, Martha and Rufus Wainwright (who, by the way, just had his debut album make Spin's Top Twenty for 1998), along with famous papa and ex-hubby Loudon Wainwright III.
But so is Anna's lesser-known brood, including the husband she met while singing in the '60s with the Mountain City Four, Dane Lanken, and their children Sylvan and lovely-voiced Lily Lanken, who might be the next of the clan to break out.
Third sister Jane McGarrigle kicks in, too, as she did on KandA's first album, and so does the fourth Mountain City Four, Chaim Tannenbaum, who's also played with Loudon.

 Martha Wainwright - OverTheRhine.COM -- Orchard
Kate and Anna have recorded and toured together for many years, and have written hit songs for artists such as Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris.
Anna's husband Dane Lanken was once, along with Kate and Anna, a member of the Mountain City Four.
He occasionally makes an appearance in Kate and Anna's concerts (he's got this really cool, incredibly deep voice), as does daughter Lily Lanken, and the aforementioned Martha Wainwright.

 Montreal Mirror : The Kristian Perspective
Movie theatres has always been one of my so-what issues that I found almost as boring as the future of Mount Royal.
That changed when I saw Montreal Movie Palaces, written in 1993 by Dane Lanken.
This eye-orgy of photos and text by the husband of one of those McGarrigle singing chicks will make you say a prayer for all the love and care for the once-great movie theatres we’ve mostly lost by now.

 Amazon.com: The McGarrigle Christmas Hour: Music: Kate & Anna McGarrigle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Kate was married for a while to Loudon Wainwright III (the folk singer and satirist whose album, Social Studies, I reviewed a long time ago) and their marriage produced Rufus and Martha Wainwright.
Lily and Dane Lanken, Emmylou Harris and Chaim Tannenbaum are among the other guests who have long-standing connections to Kate and Anna, either as relations or simply as friends.
Now I can't help thinking that they missed a trick with this album - surely the majority of the singers (without Chaim) should have recorded O Tannenbaum and dedicated it to Chaim?

This did not stop the McGarrigle sisters from recruiting everyone to gather around the piano for an imagined radio show--a Thanksgiving special taped on location in the sisters' mythical Montreal living room.
There's Loudon, Rufus, Kate and Loudon's folkie daughter Martha, sister Jane McGarrigle, Anna's husband Dane Lanken, and a host of pals including Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, and the album's secret weapon, guitarist-vocalist Chaim Tannenbaum.
Despite the seemingly easy atmosphere, this is no one-off hoedown.
