DELETEDSCENES

COULD THESE BE THE LAST PHOTOS INSIDE LAKEWOOD THEATER AS WE KNOW IT?

It was Dec. 14, 2014 and Advocate had just learned about the owners’ possible plans to gut the interior of the Lakewood Theater and carve it into several retail spaces, so photo editor Danny Fulgencio went to capture the beloved lobby and stage for our news coverage. The management was giving media the silent treatment, so Fulgencio took several photos of the outside of the building, not expecting to be allowed inside. When he saw workers, he introduced himself and said he was hoping to get some shots of the theater interior. “So he just kind of turned me loose inside,” Fulgencio remembers. “I shot as much as I could. There was really no one else in there except some employees. It was kind of an ominous shooting assignment because I felt like I could very well be one of the last people to photograph the interior of the Lakewood Theater as we knew it.”

The Kitten And The Irs

Taxes are so boring they put kittens to sleep. Or at least they put one kitten to sleep — right in the middle of a photo shoot for our March story about a group of Woodrow Wilson High School students who became certified Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents in order to assist neighbors with filing their taxes. When Advocate photographer Danny Fulgencio was at Woodrow, the students happened to be playing with a tiny kitten. When the kitten fell asleep in the crook of Woodrow student Lissete Mendez’ arms, Fulgenio decided to go with it.“Feeling a little mischievous, I was like, ‘Why not incorporate the cat into the photo?’” Fulgencio explains. “I just snuck it in there to see if anyone would pick up on it, and it doesn’t appear that anyone did.” Even Advocate staff didn’t notice the furry Easter egg. During final edits for the magazine, Fulgencio finally asked if anyone at Advocate had noticed a random kitten in one of the photos. “No one had,” he says.
