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
I would love to add the pictures to my Cinerama web site -http://cinerama.topcities.com of the Colonial when it was a Cinerama Theatre. I have pictures before it was a Cinerama and after – http://cinerama.topcities.com/ctcolonial.htm Please contact me at
