ADVISORY/ National Amusements to Provide Open Captioned Showings of Saving Private Ryan At Showcase Cinemas Orange.


--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

-0-
WHAT: Showcase Cinemas Orange is bringing the open-captioned version
      of Saving Private Ryan to deaf and hard of hearing audiences.
      Open-captioned films resemble foreign film with subtitles, but
      also include icons and written descriptions of sounds that
      convey the tone of the story. There is full sound on the film,
      and the text is burned onto each individual print. It is much
      more aesthetically pleasing than closed-captioning and doesn't
      require any maintenance or special equipment.

WHEN: Tuesday, November 17 and Wednesday, November 18

TIMES: 8:00 p.m.

WHERE: Showcase Cinemas Orange
       100-110 Marsh Hill Road
       Orange, CT 06477-0911
       (203) 795-1251
