^WSL… I’m curious why it took until a second-run of “Grease” for this theater to present a movie in stereo? My understanding is that those Eprad units were compatible with Dolby-encoded prints, and there were several Dolby releases during the timeframe of the theater’s late ‘77 opening through the timeframe of the summer '78 “Grease” release. “Close Encounters” (a Dolby release), for sure, played there during winter 77/78; why wouldn’t it have been presented in stereo?
