Friends, Ron & Roberta emailed me this about yesterday- The Garden State Theater Society had a luncheon, open console, and a mini concert by Candi Carley Roth at the Sunnybrook Ballroom in Pottstown on Sunday. We had never heard the United States Organ, which was originally installed in the Lansdale Theater.
In my opinion, it is very exciting to have a movie showcased at a gorgeous, historic theater like this one! And, a movie by an extremely well acclaimed director who rightfully points out the lack of proper venues since the Ziegfeld and Paris closed.
Also, you may be interested in knowing that ‘scope 70mm aspect ratio traditionally is 2.2 wide rather than usual scope (2.35 or 2.39) to accommodate the surround sound that used to be on the film itself. And, “The Joker” was filmed with digital cameras, not 65mm cameras, or 35mm cameras (for blow up to 70mm).

My friend Jay Farrell has suggested to me that the same road construction that is putting the bookstore out of business apparently kept the google streetview photography car from reaching that block.
Proposed for demolition!

Please don’t speak in “code” meaning abbreviations! It is taken me awhile to recall that some posts ago “N & A” was Nicholas & Alexandria. Spell out the names of the movies.
RadioVenus, being in Philadelphia, PA, I haven’t visited LA recently though I have visited London recently. I was curious what movie theaters in LA still used a curtain. Being a flagship showplace for Disney, I expected El Capitan still uses a curtain, but I am delighted with your info that the Chinese IMAX uses a curtain and the Cinerama Dome uses a curtain. If you haven’t done so, please post such info on those theater pages and/or photos of the curtains closed. I’d be eager to know if the Village theaters esp Village & Bruin use their curtains, Hollywood Vista, and any others. Thanks again for your report regarding real theater showmanship!

All 70mm films are NOT scope! The Joker is flat, as was for example, The Master.
Mark, as my article stated, Century 35/70 https://www.in70mm.com/news/2014/ziegfeld/index.htm

Not the ones I have from NYC or Philadelphia.
Terry, having checked 2 websites, it seems just this film & Patton, among full feature films were filmed in that process.
Ok, I have started to post photos of books- but please, post them at the right theater! where those movies were roadshown.
MayfairMike, Thanks so much for posting, they are wonderful photos! I hope you post more.

Sign outside theater today advertises 8000 square feet “Entertainment venue” Good.
The Village East is a legally protected building. It has been reported that development is possible for City Cinemas 1,2,3.
