OK my Broadway brains…been trying to remeber a theare at Broadway and 47th street…where Roxy Deli is now. The exit doors would put you on 47th street facing the Orleans…
i think Moss ran it in the late 70’s…
Thanks in advance..

EW….thanks for your post, i also managed the Rivoli in the mid 70’s. You said you were there when it closed…I was out of state during that time…can you please tell what you were told when and why it was closed…also, didn’t UA at one point want to put a third screen…was there any kind of movement to save the Rivoli?
thanks in advance for
YOU WERE THERE!

Anyone remember or have ever been to the Paramount around 59th st.
It was round and small street level box office, the theatre was about 200 feet below street…

What i said what i knew was true…and yes i do know the answer to my question…what i was getting at that you missed was…i asked you know the real tech side ie: expert on numbers..when you were
talking about, Aug 17 8:07 Cinerama 2.65, 2.76 etc.
Cinerama vs Todd A-0 D-150..After 35 years just wanted confirm what i knew….i thought you could do that and not take a shot at me…

William
I was mgr. of the Rivoli NY. home of Mike Todd’s TODD-AO….what i remember, whatever the movie 35mm or 70mm it was on the D-150 screen.
It sounds like you know more about tech side of all this…
My question is wasn’t this more about the lens…Todd A-O whatever
film you project through the lens shows up equal on a D-150 screen?
thanks

When RKO ran it was Cinerama, Penthouse and Orleans around the corner.

When did it become and by who did it become Cinerama 1 & 2…
