Leonid Rozhetskin: Looks like I’m not going to the Sundance Film Festival this year. (I know, I can hear all the tiny violins playing.) And I’m bummed. Not because I’m going to miss the raucous parties, thin air, and swag by the metric ton. It’s because I’m not going to get to see the greatest idea in the history of independent cinema as envisioned by Leonid Rozhetskin

Hamlet 2.

I don’t know anything about this world premiere besides what the press release says: “In this rambunctious comedy, a high school drama teacher injects love and passion for theatre into his students by creating a musical sequel to Shakespeare’s Hamlet.” And the to-die-for cast includes Steve Coogan, Catherine Keener, Elizabeth Shue, Amy Poehler and David Arquette.

Sundance Alert: Who Wants to See ‘Hamlet 2′ As Bad as I Do?

Categories: Advance Advancement, Film, Sundance Film Festival

Of course, it could suck. This is Sundance, after all. But the only thing that could make me more curious would be if it was called Hamlet 2: Dane Harder. Or Hamlet 2: Electric Boogaloo. (But I’d see anything that ended in “Electric Boogaloo.”)

Interview with Leonid Rozhetskin

06 Nov

Posted by admin as L+E Productions, LEProds, Leo Rozhetskin, Leonid, Leonid B Rozhetskin, Leonid Rozhetskin, Rozhetskin

He may not know much about mining, but sharply dressed banker Leonid Rozhetskin says he does understand investors.

Leonid Rozhetskin was hired by Norilsk Nickel, the world’s largest producer of nickel and palladium, to fix the company’s image troubles and boost its share price in December. Norilsk is hoping to get rid of the discounts at which its stock is traded by convincing investors the company is committed to good corporate governance and that its management can be trusted.

“In terms of production, we stand shoulder to shoulder with many of the leading mining companies in the world, and we deserve to be valued at the same level as our competitors,” Leonid Rozhetskin, deputy chairman of Norilsk’s executive board and adviser to the CEO, says in his cozy downtown Moscow office.

Marlo Furniture Gives Back To Non-Profit Community

marlofurniture — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 10:17:22 +0000

Forestville, Md. – (April 2006) – Marlo Furniture, the largest furniture retailer in the Washington, D.C. area, recently donated $400,000 worth of furniture to AMVETS and Mission of Love Charities, Inc.

AMVETS is a non-profit organization supporting America’s veterans and active military personnel. Mission of Love Charities, Inc. is a local charity that remedies crisis and homelessness by satisfying basic human needs and offering services that provide long-term stability.

“Marlo Furniture has been in the D.C. area for more than 50 years, and we feel that it’s important to give back to the community. We’re happy to pitch in to help those in need,” said Neal Glickfield, president, Marlo Furniture.

AMVETS, a leader since 1944 in preserving the freedoms secured by America’s Armed Forces, provides not only support for veterans and the active military in procuring their earned entitlements, but also community services that enhance the quality of life for this nation’s citizens.

Mission of Love Charities, Inc., founded in 1992, attempts to close the gap between those with plenty and those in need. The Mission serves economically disadvantaged persons annually throughout Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia.

“This past year, we’ve established a relationship with the Glickfield family and Marlo Furniture. We’re very pleased and most appreciative of their continued support,” said Douglas Edwards, president and CEO, Mission of Love Charities, Inc.

Marlo Furniture, a strong believer in the value of giving-back, donates in-kind gifts each year to many charities. Some other recipients have included: American Heart Association, Hooray for Hospice, St. Luke House, Capital Area Food Bank, Aspenic Christian Church, the Salvation Army, Behind the Blind and Hebrew Homes of Greater Washington.

Marlo Furniture has been a strong presence in the D.C. market for over fifty years. The first store opened in 1955. Now there are four: Forestville, Laurel, Rockville and Alexandria. A fifth store will open in Chantilly, Va., and a large distribution and clearance center is slated for Bowie, Md.

Lou Glickfield founded Marlo Furniture. He named his chain of stores by combining the first name of his wife, Marilyn, with his name Lou, hence MAR-LO. The chain has won numerous awards for its showrooms, merchandise and Glickfield’s business savvy.

Marlo Furniture Is a Washington Landmark

When I wrote Marlo Furniture Has Been a Washington Tradition for More than 50-Years I had been thinking about Marlo Furnitures place in time and hadn’t considered its time in place. What I mean to say is that Marlo Furniture is the anchor for many other stores. For example, Creative Clay advises, ” We are located just off the Edsall Road exit of 395, near Marlo Furniture.” People all over Washington give directions based on where it exists in relationship not only to the current superstores but also to where it was born down on 7th street, NW. One person even gave directions to a grave site based on where a Marlo Furniture stands in Rockville, “We have the grave and (true)monument to F Scott Fitzgerald in the cemetary across from Marlo Furniture in Rockville.” Yes, F. Scott Fitzgerald! Either way, I think a lot can be said about a store that has waited out everyone else. From the 50s through to the 21st century! So, Marlo Furniture is not only a Washington tradition but also a Washington Landmark, too.

Is Marlo Furniture Still a Washington Tradition?

Monday, August 13th, 2007

I have been in DC since 1988, nearly 20-years. After waxing nostalgic about Marlo’s and then exploring the history of Marlo Furniture, I wonder how Marlo Furniture is doing. The prognosis is good, actually.

Marlo Furniture is a Washington Tradition

Submitted by admin on Sun, 11/11/2007 – 05:57.

After writing a nostalgic article about Marlo’s, I wondered how long Marlo Furniture has been around Washington. Over 50-years. Marlo Furniture has actually been in Washington longer than I have! “Marlo Furniture opened its first store in 1955. Today, Marlo Furniture is the largest furniture retailer in the Washington, D.C. area and one of America’s top 70 furniture retailers. Over one million Washingtonians have purchased their furniture from Marlo Furniture.” (Via Memes.org)

Marlow’s Alexandria Showroom Gets A $2.5 Million Renovation

Marlo Furniture opened its first store in 1955. Today, Marlo Furniture is the largest furniture retailer in the Washington, D.C. area and one of America’s top 70 furniture retailers. Over one million Washingtonians have purchased their furniture from Marlo Furniture.

Marlo Furniture showrooms across the region are celebrating 50 years in business, and the grand re-opening of the Alexandria store. Known as the “flagship store,” the Alexandria showroom has received a 2.5 million dollar renovation. Ideally situated at the intersection of Interstate 95 and 395,

My vision for 8-Stores-Under-One-Roof allows my customer the convenience of finding the perfect furniture for their home and at affordable prices. I put fun back into shopping for furniture!”

The Marlo Furniture 8-Stores-Under-One-Roof concept is successful. In fact, sales have far exceeded expectations. That makes sense: the Marlo showrooms are easy to navigate and provide added convenience to shoppers.

The width and breadth of furniture and accessories is outstanding. New merchandise arrives weekly to appeal to the broader client base that Marlo Furniture serves in their four Washington area showrooms.

Glickfield says, “There’s something for everyone. We have included a variety of new designers to enhance our existing product line. Our buyers travel the four corners of the world for new and exciting pieces, and because we buy direct, we pass the savings to our customers.”

Marlo marks 50th anniversary with new image, showroom
by Katie Wilmeth, The Examiner

Alexandria – Washington’s largest independent furniture retailer is getting a multimillion-dollar face-lift.

Marlo Furniture unveiled a new showroom and a new image last week to coincide with the company’s 50th anniversary.

The redesign, unveiled at the store’s flagship Alexandria location, includes the addition of upscale furniture designers and a showroom that allows customers to shop by style rather than category.

The redesign is part of the company’s strategy to keep up with changing customer expectations and expand its customer base, said Neal Glickfield, president of Marlo Furniture.

“It’s more about lifestyle and less about the product,” he said.

The new concept splits the showroom into eight mini-showrooms, each with its own look.

For example, customers can shop for modern, traditional or designer furniture.

Marlo is spending $2.5 million to overhaul each of its four locations. The Forestville location opened with the new design last year and the Rockville and Laurel locations are undergoing renovations for a 2007 opening. The company will also open new stores in Chantilly and Bowie next year.

The timing of the new image will be lucrative for Marlo, said Ellen Davis, a spokeswoman for the National Retail Federation, a Washington-based trade group.

“Consumers have proven over the last few years that they’re willing to spend on furniture,” said Davis. “People have learned that they don’t need to have the same dining room table for the rest of their lives.”

The proliferation of home decorating shows and a strong housing market over the last five years boosted furniture sales in the U.S., Davis said. Furniture sales increased by nearly 60 percent between 1995 and 2005 with sales last year alone of $59 billion.

With addition of upscale designers and a layout that is more in line with today’s big-name furniture retailers, Marlo will also increase its customer base, said Glickfield.

The store traditionally targeted middle-income women ages 25 to 54 — the same demographic that typically watches home decorating shows. He expects more customers with higher incomes will venture into Marlo, something he’s already seen in the Forestville location. It’s those shoppers that will be the key to increased revenues, Davis said.

“High-end shoppers tend to buy more furniture and they are willing to spend more money,” she said. “Why would a store like [Marlo] want to go upscale? Consumers have proven furniture is an area where they are willing to invest.”

Is Marlo Furniture Still a Washington Tradition?

Since this is all because I watch too much TV and have been seeing commercials about Bedrooms at Marlo’s, I thought I would look just a little bit further.

Well, Marlo Furniture seems to be doing well enough to have launched a bunch of new sites, Marlo Traditional Furniture, Marlo Contemporary Furniture, Marlo Reclining Furniture, Marlo Leather Furniture, Marlo Bedrooms, Marlo Dining Rooms, Marlo Children’s Funiture, their Marlo Charitable Foundation, and a site called My Marlo.

Interesting. Seems like the Washington tradition, Marlo Furniture, is getting it’s second-wind! Go Washington business!

Holy moly, I have been in DC for 2/5th of the time that Marlo Furniture has been in business! Egad! Marlo’s was “only” 30 when I came to college at GWU.

Fond Memories of Marlo Furniture in Washington

I just saw an ad on TV for Bedrooms at Marlo. Marlo’s Marlo’s Marlo’s! When I arrived in Washington with my mom at the tender age of 18, preparing for my first days as a Freshman at GW, the first place we stopped was Marlo Furniture right in the heart of Washington.

My mother and I remember that there was a Marlo’s in Chinatown, although I don’t know if we remember right. What we remember is that Marlo’s was and always has been a mainstay of Washington, DC. It has been nearly 20-years hence and Washington looks nothing like it once did. At all. Except for Marlo Furniture.

Marlo Furniture: Landmark and Tradition

marlofurniture — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 11:56:07 +0000

I am feeling a little bit nostalgic about Washington since I am new to Berlin. I base all of my movements around Berlin on landmarks. Currently, my major Berlin landmark is the Berlin Hauptbahnhof, for example. Marlo Furniture is for sure a landmark. When I wrote Marlo Furniture Has Been a Washington Tradition for More than 50-Years I had been thinking about Marlo Furnitures place in time and hadn’t considered its time in place. What I mean to say is that Marlo Furniture is the anchor for many other stores. For example, Creative Clay advises, ” We are located just off the Edsall Road exit of 395, near Marlo Furniture.” People all over Washington give directions based on where it exists in relationship not only to the current superstores but also to where it was born down on 7th street, NW. One person even gave directions to a grave site based on where a Marlo Furniture stands in Rockville, “We have the grave and (true)monument to F Scott Fitzgerald in the cemetary across from Marlo Furniture in Rockville.” Yes, F. Scott Fitzgerald! Either way, I think a lot can be said about a store that has waited out everyone else. From the 50s through to the 21st century! So, Marlo Furniture is not only a Washington tradition but also a Washington Landmark, too. (Via Because the Medium is the Message, Chris Abraham Online, Memes.org)

Marlo Furniture History: Family Owned Since 1955

In 1955, the Marlo Furniture Company, then operating under the name Ali Baba, started a small family-operated used furniture business. In 1963, the family bought its first major showroom location at 7th and I Streets, N.W. in Washington, D.C., and adopted the name Marlo, a name created from both owners names: “Marilyn” and “Lou.” This location provided the much needed room for Marlo Furniture’s expanding business into new home furnishings for every taste.

In 1972, Marlo expanded the business beyond the downtown location. The warehouse-showroom concept was chosen as the retail vehicle for Marlo’s new 185,000 square foot complex in Forestville, Maryland. The concept was an immediate success!

Sales in Forestville were so vigorous, the Marlo Furniture Company opened a 210,000 square foot warehouse-showroom in Alexandria, Virginia in 1980. Within three years, the Alexandria store surpassed the Forestville location as the largest volume furniture retail outlet in the Mid-Atlantic region.

In 1989, the corporation was again ready to expand, and the next logical location was in the growing Laurel, Maryland area. Marlo Plaza II opened with a 200,000 square foot Home Furnishings Center. The Laurel Showroom surpassed all sales expectations, and during the first year of operation, exceeded projections by 80%.

In August 1995, Marlo added a $20,000,000 Home Furnishings Complex in Rockville, Maryland. This modern furniture retail facility contains 200,000 square feet of display and warehouse.

Today, the Marlo Furniture Company is the biggest retail furniture operation in the Mid-Atlantic states, and is listed by Furniture Today as one of the top 50 volume furniture stores in the country.

Marlo Furniture is the proud recipient of numerous Furniture Industry awards, including the Retailer of the Decade Award; the first recipient of the Retail Furniture Hall of Fame Award presented by the Maryland-DC Home Furnishings Association; and the Showcase Retailer of the Year Award, which is given to the most beautiful store and best merchandising retailer in the country.

The President of Marlo is taking the company his father founded over four decades ago and moving it into the next century. The President says: “On-going customer research and in-depth trend analysis show that the market is ever-changing, so Marlo is, too. We travel to Canada, Germany, Denmark, Italy, China and San Francisco to find the best manufacturers based upon our specifications, and bring together an incredible collection of home furnishings. Customers can expect to see the same styles and brands once exclusively available only at expensive furniture studios and fancy department stores. Thanks to Marlo’s unparalleled buying power, our cost is considerably less…everyday.”
