Maybe this is kind of like "theatre" and "theater"--People who are actors, directors, etc. usually stick with the old spelling. Most other people spell it the new way.
I think it's less to do with old/new than it is geography, Wanda. Or, I guess, it is old/new in the sense that the US is the 'newer' country. <g>

Far as I'm aware, theatre is UK English and theater, US. Certainly, theatre is most-used in the UK and not just by those in the business.

Unless I've missed something over recent years and theater has crept into UK too. Always possible.

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
