DEAR SUN SPOTS: Thanks for your wonderful service. I have written several times and always have gotten the reply I needed.

Living in the South Paris area, I’m wondering why the Lewiston-Auburn movie theaters don’t advertise in the Sun Journal. Because I’m so eager to see “The King’s Speech,” I called the Auburn theater, and the message gave me every movie that’s playing, their times, etc., but the movie I mentioned was not one of them. It took five minutes to listen to the message!

If the theaters would advertise in the Sun Journal, many people would attend from small towns. It surely would be nice if once a week we could check the paper to see what’s playing. Thanks! — Phyllis, South Paris, oxfpen@megalink.net

ANSWER: The Sun Journal would welcome advertisements from movie theaters, but, alas, they no longer place them. The information you seek is available online, however.

If you visit www.flagshipcinemas.com (Lewiston) or www.regmovies.com (Auburn), you can see all the movies currently playing, along with show times and all other details. It is much faster and easier than trying to listen to your choices over the phone.

Incidentally, at the time of this writing, it does not appear that “The King’s Speech” is currently playing at any Flagship Cinema, but it is at the Auburn 10.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: My 71-year-old mother loves making mystery puzzles. She finds some at Goodwill and Salvation Army stores for she lives on a fixed income. I was wondering if there were any readers who might have some that they no longer want and would be willing to donate to her enjoyment. I would be willing to pick them up for her. Thank you. — Carmen Fillmore, Lewiston, 330-0905
