![]() I know they would be excited and helpful. A lot of vintage items could be acquired from Wade Williams and the Fine Arts Group. It could also be a local live performance venue and movie theater, just put the new screen on a roll about frame to be moved to the back wall and build out the stage floor about 10 feet. I know the Eastside is in pretty bad shape but the Mayor as insisted that moneys be allocated to improve the Eastside of KC – so Grants are always available but they must be written up and submitted – Federal, State and Local. The company that did the liter weighted beautiful neon marquee could probably replicate a new Marquee and blade sign at a reasonable price. It would be a pretty major effort, but I think a lot of donations would come in to do it. The Aladdin could be home to many of the fine Hispanic Movies available but would require digital project and sound. The Heating and AC would need to be completely redone and also the plumbing but it could be done as a non profit organization. The lights in the ceiling are pretty cool. There is damage to the ceiling from the old rug cleaning company but that could be repaired – it is a sprayed on insulation between the beams. ![]() All of the drop ceiling and the side wall paneling needs to be removed. If not, I would buy the Hammond Organ and Leslie Speaker because I originally sold it to that church to the older church owner. Have all the church furnishings been removed. Not sure if the back of the theater where the screen and speakers once were was covered by the metal roof, so it could be that or one of the side buildings. The auditorium’s roof is completely covered with a metal roof and doubt it that was damaged. I see the pic with the damage but cannot place the location. If you’d like to help Save The Aladdin, you can join us on facebook (), check out our website () or contribute financially through causevox (). Hopefully, you don’t need a map to determine that Aladdin And Jasmines Agrabah doesn’t actually exist. If anyone has any good resources for groups that might be able to help save the Aladdin, I would be very interested to hear from you! Sadly, given the current owner’s lack of maintenance, it seems likely that this cinema treasure is headed toward demolition. We were mentally and financially prepared for the other vandalization and well-intentioned internal build-out, but the caved in roof was a bit of a jaw-dropper. The current owner has not yet done any cleanup or attempted any repairs, leaving the building open to the elements. It is only something I have seen in old cartoons and movies from the 1930s and 40s as exotic Muslim women dressing this way was seen as erotic and tantalizing.My family and I were considering purchasing this building from the investor who bought it in 2014, but we were disheartened to discover that, over the summer, a tree collapsed the roof on the back of the East building all the way into the basement. To be fair, this general look is not something I know the history behind. While it’s true that some women, such as belly dancers, did dress something like this many centuries later, this is wildly out of place for the conservative era that Jasmine is living in. Now, I will give the movie slight credit in knowing that she couldn’t walk around outside dressed like a harlot, but it’s still wildly inappropriate and is an example of exoticizing and romanticizing another culture for Western consumption. While in more modern Islamic countries, women are not forced to wear Hijab, considering Jasmine is living in a medieval/renaissance Muslim country when religion held greater power and thieves lost hands instead of just going to prison, I don’t believe that the general consensus would react positively to a Muslim woman showing such immodesty. ![]() She is literally dressed the same as the concubines. However, knowing as little about Islamic beliefs as I do, I highly doubt that Princess Jasmine should be walking around in such revealing clothes. I am by no means an expert in Islamic fashions.
