    Budget Theater Questions - Semi Urgent

    I am trying to find out information to see if it is worthwhile to reopen a budget movie theater in my hometown. In this area we have about 100,000 people living in the city and we are a significant city in Louisiana. This theater is located on the main road of the city and is situated very close to a university.

    About 2 weeks ago, this theater shut its door for business. It appears that the theater was being run into the ground and the person who was leasing the building(from out of state) didn’t really care. Now this theater is important because of where it’s located as well as its size. Compared to modern movie houses, the auditoriums are huge!

    Now here are the cons of the place. Number one is the awful smell from when smoking was allowed in the building. Also the smell comes from poor upkeep of the carpet in all rooms. My goal will be to clean the curtains and replace carpet on the walls. The next problem is that the theater decided to stop working with the community on things. Bear in mind that they have been operating as a budget house for almost 15 years.

    1930’s cinema artwork

    Hello,

    I am the Executive Director of The Poncan Theatre in Ponca City, Oklahoma. I have just joined your site. I will provide more photos and information when time is available.

    What I want to tell you about is a wonderful discovery we have made. A collection of some 30 handpainted one of a kind lobby art pieces from the 1930’s. These are large pieces featuring Shirley Temple, Henry Fonda, Barbara Stanwyk, Harold Loydd, John Barrymore, Will Rogers, and many many more. We are in the process of framing them.

    Projection and sound equipment price quotes

    I just need to know what a good low budget option would be for the equipment I would need and what the cost is. I made a post earlier but I didn’t get a good answer to my question.

    Saving vintage theaters

    How’s everyone in the theater industry today? I’m in the market for purchasing vintage theaters. It can be tough to raise the money to save a historic landmark. A broker told me that his company has no regard for existing market values for a historic theater. The sales price on a given theater is all that mattered on a given purchase agreement. One would figure what’s the world coming to? What are people being taught these days? That’s what the late Jackie Gleason would ask. What ever happened to Hollywood?

    Stromberg Carlson theater amplifiers

    As a old theater sound buff I recently found an old Stromberg Carlson AP 54 amplfier that apparently came out of an old theater in Toronto Ontario.

    It mounts on a 19 inch rack and used a pair of 866A mercury vapor rectifiers and 811A output tubes.

    Does anyone have any knowledge of this amplifier and or know where a second one can be found?

    Thanks,

    The Frogman
