This means that movie dialog
will appear in text at the bottom of the screen, in addition to
the normal audio. This is to accommodate the needs of some
movie-goers. Most digital movies now offer this option, which
can be provided with advance preparations. There is still the
occasional movie which is not formatted with the open caption
feature so those movies will be the exception.
“Many guests have expressed appreciation for this feature that
allows them to understand the movie better,” said Gaye Maxson of
the Arlee. “Sometimes it is difficult to understand what is said
by characters with accents and sometimes the movie has loud
background music that overpowers what is being said.
"With open caption, guests can read the dialog as they watch and
listen to the movie. We are not aware of any other theater in the area which
offers open captions during prime hours.”
Saturday, Sunday and Monday shows will continue as they have been, with the
traditional movie presentation.
Closed captioned devices are available by request from the Arlee concession
stand, as well as assistive listening devices, for all shows.
