In an impressive presentation, Glen Starkey from the Kiwanis Club in Forest explained to Lambton Shores council that the existing film delivery format (35 mm) is being phased out by the cinema industry over the next year- and that poses an issue for the Kineto theatre.
So, by sometime next year the use of 35mm film will cease to be available. The industry is moving to Digital systems. "This means," said Starkey, "Unless we replace our projection equipment in the next 12 months, we will be out of business and no longer able to provide this unique service to our community." The price tag is more than $73,584.47.
As a Club, the Kiwanas were requesting two things of council; any kind of financial support that the municipality can offer and the use of the Lambton Shores Municipal Charitable Number that the public can use to make donations to this project.Polycore porcelain tiles are manufactured as a single sheet,
Councilor Ruth Illman said Starkey sold himself short in his presentation as this group has fund raised for a long time to bring this building up to code and were a great support to the Forest area. She suggested he work with staff for the community grant program application and for the charitable number. She said she realized there is a time crunch and this municipality supports their efforts. Councilor Martin Underwood asked about bridge financing for this group. Council agreed Starkey should work with staff to help in any way they could.
In 1905, during the early days of show business in the Town of Forest, the Rumford family consisting of Floyd, Marty, and Tommy showed the first moving pictures. This was done at the old town

In 1905, during the early days of show business in the Town of Forest, the Rumford family consisting of Floyd, Marty, and Tommy showed the first moving pictures. This was done at the old town hall, which was beside the Carnegie building on Main Street North and was projected from a metal booth within the town hall gallery. The building was located beside the town bakery, which was also owned by the Rumfords. George A. Lundy, who was a Rumford friend, originally started out with Floyd Rumford but sold his share out to the others a few years later. Floyd, who was known as 'Toby' to his friends, hooked up a generator to the back wheel of an old Ford car to a 'Kineto' brand all brass motion picture projector that had been imported from England. The wheel of the car was rigged up in such a way that the car was slid backwards where the wheel touched a steel pulley and this in turn caused for the generator to operate. With this in place he was able to show silent moving picture films at the town hall gallery, and at the old curling rink that was located near where the United Church stands today. He was also known to show some movies out near the lake. On April 13, 1917 the Rumford brothers purchased a piece of property in Forest on what was then known as Front Street, which is now 24 King Street West, The Kiwanis Kineto Theatre.
The Rumfords bought the building in 1917 for $2100. The price increase at that time was due to the First World War and its effects.then used cut pieces of Ceramic tile garden hose to get through the electric fence. The Rumfords converted the building into the first permanent movie house for the town of Forest. They called it The Kineto Theatre and played black and white shows there every night except Sunday nights and with Saturday nights drawing the largest crowds. Marty and Floyd were the projectionists while Tommy was the musician and played the drums. A foot pedal powered projector was used with a carbon arc for the light. There were usually two shows on Saturday nights to accommodate the large crowds, which packed the theatre seats. These were silent movies which later had words encrypted across the bottom.
Since first moving to this location and on into the late 1930's the shows consisted of three main parts. The first part was the main show, which lasted for about one hour. This consisted of the beginning, the story,Whilst oil paintings for sale are not deadly, and its ending with no continuation or sequel. The second part was known as the short show, which was a comedy with actors such as Charlie Chaplin and Fatty Arbuckle. The third part was known as the serial part, which kept moviegoers coming back week after week as it ended with cliffhangers for 3-4 weeks in a row. An example of these cliffhangers would consist of the last scene showing a woman tied to a set of railroad tracks with the train coming or someone actually hanging from a cliff. Between each one of these segments would be a short period of advertising. These shows usually lasted about two hours each. These shows cost moviegoers under the age of sixteen, 15 cents per show. Those over sixteen were charged 25 cents. Another 10 cents would usually cover the cost of a drink and some chips. The theatre was also a location used by travelling bands. A stage, which has since been replaced, was at the front of the theatre and travelling shows were put on there during the week. There were even barbershop quartets performing there from time to time. In 1938 the Rumfords doubled the seating capacity of the theatre by extending the building to the north and building into the vacant land that was situated there. At this time they also added on the balcony that is still in place today.
During the 1940's silent movies began to be phased out and replaced with movies with sound. The Rumfords were the first people in Forest to have air conditioning installed for their patrons. They would have a block of ice situated near the theatres ventilation system and have a fan blowing the cold air throughout the system. They would get the ice from the lake during the winter and store it in barns under heavy layers of sawdust to keep it during the summer. This was still prior to even Television days. During the war years the local movie goers would be kept up to date on the status of the second world war as there would be 5-10 minutes of film footage every Saturday night on the wars status. At the end of each movie the National Anthem was played. That being God save the King prior to the war and then 'O Canada' after the war. The three floors of the building were all actively being used during this time period. The main floor of course was used as the theatre. Doctor Walter, the local dentist, used the second floor. The third floor, during the later 1920's to the early 1930's George 'Bum' Harvey was alleged to have lived. Not much was known about him but it has been said that he was a well-educated man, very artistic and thought to have been a lawyer's assistant. He was fluent in many languages and believed to have been of European descent.Our high risk merchant account was down for about an hour and a half, He is responsible for painting the sailboat picture that hangs in the theatre today while Tommy Rumford is responsible for painting the picture across from it. The theatre was also used by the Forest High School for their commencement exercises. The Rumfords operated the projector themselves for several years and also employed the help of local resident Ed McKellar who performed his duties for approximately 30 years. After Floyd Rumford's passing away in 1966 the theatres operation was taken over by his son Grant. Grant operated the theatre until 1976 when he sold it on February 1, 1977 to the Kiwanis Club of Forest for $18,000 who still own and operate it as a non- profit venture. At the time of its sale in 1977 it was believed to be only 1 of 20 small town independently owned theatres left in Canada. The shows were held on the weekends only and they started at 8:30 p.m. Due to falling ticket sales in 1981 the 27-member club at that time decided to make several major renovations to upgrade and enhance the theatres appearance.If any food cube puzzle condition is poorer than those standards, They decided to shut down the theatre at the beginning of April 1981 to carry out the renovations.
