The Metropolitan (MET) certainly wasn’t a THX house. It didn’t even have stereo sound up until the last two years of its film life.
It did have Bauer U2 35/70mm Projectors and Xebex Hi-Beam III 3kw Lamphouses. The screen was maxed in CinemaScope at 40 feet wide by 17 feet high.
I verify the 1400-1475 seat count. It maybe had 1850 seats back in the 40s or 50s.
The beautiful architecture in the auditorium was covered in pink rust paint on the walls and torquoise paint on the ceiling.
The Garrick was bought by the RAMADA MARLBOROUGH INN and will become a swimming pool and conference theatre.
