It was 210 minutes, 197 minutes plus intermission. Here is a review from the November 11, 1963 issue of Boxoffice magazine – http://cineramahistory.com/1963iammmmwreview.jpg . The movie program says 210 minutes. Robert Harris who has done restorations of a number of films says it was 195 minutes – View link
dave-bronx, I would love to see any pictures you have. The link from 2005 – View link does not work. I have a couple on this page in my web site – http://cineramahistory.com/loews.htm
Did this theatre ever promote itself as a Cinerama theatre? The book Cleveland’s Playhouse Square, has a picture of the Palace Cinerama theatre and below it says “The State and the Ohio also showed Cinerama films”.
Thanks William. I’m going through a Motion Picture Exhibitor magazine that said it could show a Cinerama film. A number of theatres that were built in the 60’s were promoted as such but never did show and promote a film as being “In Cinerama”.
Man are you guys picky! :) OK, I didn’t write the text. I guess what I should have said was “the text is from an article on the Warner Theatre that is in the March 14th, 1962 issue of Motion Picture Herald that I copied to a page on my web site – http://cinerama.topcities.com/warner.htm .” I added that article to the web site to help clarify a question some of you had about the name of the theatre during that time period between it was called a Cinerama theatre. There is also a link on my site – http://alexdlg.tripod.com/aco/pressbook.html to a web site that has pictures of the outside and inside of the theatre from a Clockwork Orange pressbook and another link to the CinemaTour web site http://www.cinematour.com/tour.php?db=us&id=10476 that has more recent pictures of the theatre. I wish I lived near LA so I could visit the theatre for it special showing.
It’s all very simple. If you go back to the page on my web site – http://cinerama.topcities.com/warner.htm, to the right of “3-strip dates”, it says that 3-strip (requiring three projectors) Cinerama films were shown from 04/29/53 to 10/09/61. From 10/20/61 till 8/7/62, no Cinerama films (only one projector needed to show 70mm or 35mm films) were shown at the theatre so, they changed the name on the marquee back to Warner. From 8/7/62 till 12/17/64 they again showed 3-strip Cinerama films. So, they changed the name back to Cinerama. The marquee still had the name Cinerama on it when Clockwork Orange played there in 1974 – http://alexdlg.tripod.com/aco/press11-01.jpg

Does anyone have pictures of when it was a Cinerama theatre?
When was this theatre closed? There were plans to convert it into a Cinerama theatre in 1961 – View link
Looks like they are open and showing movies

Does anyone know if the Titan Theatre ever promoted any of the films being shown as “in CINERAMA”?
For pictures of the Roxy theatre when it ran Windjammer in 1958, go to this page on my Cinerama web site –
