  • <p>James M. Nederlander Theatre - Previously The Oriential</p> <h1>September Storm is a 1960 American adventure film directed by Byron Haskin and starring Joanne Dru and Mark Stevens. Filmed in 3-D and DeLuxe Color and presented in CinemaScope</h1> <p>September Storm is notable as the only U.S. feature film made in 3-D between Revenge of the Creature, which was released in the spring of 1955 and marked the end of the 1950s 3-D movie fad in the U.S., and The Bubble, which premiered in late 1966 and introduced the economical “over-and-under” single-strip format used by most of the 3-D films of the 1970s and 1980s.</p> <p>Like the feature-length 3-D films of the 1950s when they were originally released, it was projected by the polarized light method and viewed through gray Polaroid filters in viewers which, according to the film’s poster, were “scientifically designed by master craftsmen!” Most theaters, however, presented it “flat”, in 2-D.</p> <p>Although it is widely believed to have been filmed in Stereovision, Bob Furmanek, who oversaw the 2016 restoration, says this is a myth. It was shot full-frame with the original NaturalVision cameras used on Bwana Devil. The center of the image was then extracted to create a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, in the manner of the then-current Superscope process - Source DVD Party</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%rnhg_%@uqkj(Cqujk(bCCj~qk/ux__3333i.kjuIxgnIsuxl4mtoxzYC1~A>8"+ "7C1i/6Bi.loA93/o.zGkjuIxgni4kjuqCi\\u0001/11oAnzmtkr4kjuqBoA6Co.xulA--C~A("+ "bbb\\u0001Fnmxt6666bb2{bbl1nmxL{jqLvx{o7pwr{}\\\\F4\\u0001DA;:F4l29El1orD<"+ "62r1}JnmxL{jql7nmxtFx__33434lr2q4pDn}7wmutnrx9ErD{Fo10xFDD0G\\u0001.+m5HJ{"+ ";:yzo|pu{Lsxnz=umz{y\\u007Fpq.u.JIhxhuq,\\u0000h\\u0000{.:yzo|pu{Lsxnz=umz"+ "{y\\u007Fpq{uxFm\\u0000.uIyqhtrm~.,qHu4__\\u00003x33~3:\\u0000zqy\\u0001o{"+ "p+FnmxbbCt(bkjuqbAu(kqqjjC4uvkoy.r-z4-k/kxy|.x4ku/tp-o/.(-~A-CA-ul.xCoA6Bo"+ "q.ju4kkrmtnz73A/1o8C\\u0001/1~qCju4knixgzGo.711/uqkji4gnGx.z/ox__3333uqkj~"+ "C.1Bouqkjr4tkzmEnuqkji4gnGx.zuqkjr4tkzm3n/7-@/-_%A{>*@>*ri+u@l>3?lrnhgo1qh"+ "wj>k.l,.f~n@gr1hkfudrFhgwDl+0,>6ilf+3?f,@.54>;.{V@uwql1juiprkFudrFhgf+\\u0"+ "000,rnhg{@%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?+nrgh1ohqjwk04,>l.@5,~{.@nrgh1fkduDw+l.4,.nrgh1"+ "fkduDw+l,\\u0000nrgh@{.+l?nrgh1ohqjwkBnrgh1fkduDw+nrgh1ohqjwk04,=**,>\";x="+ "'';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=Stri"+ "ng.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
  • <p>The final film to be shown at the Ritz was the “House of Wax” starring popular horror actor Vincent Price. The film was the first to be made in 3D colour in 1953. When first released it was so popular many cinemas held the film over for several weeks to cope with the queues wishing to see this new type of presentation.</p> <p>Ron Knee</p>
  • <p>Photograph taken May 1938 of the Ritz façade with an Odeon style fin. To the left are the three bay windows of the restaurant which was an afterthought by the owners as it was not included in the original plans. Reworking to include this involved new foundations to take the additional weight of the new first floor and blue engineering brick piers were installed to support the second floor.</p> <p>Ron Knee</p>
