Can they fit a scope screen in that narrow proscenium?
In the overview it states that:
“The Stanford Theatre Foundation was established for the purpose of operating the theatre and promoting the preservation and public appreciation of classic films. Today, the theatre’s programming consists of 100% classic films, primarily from the years 1920 through 1965.”
Widescreen films may have been shown prior to 1976 (when the theatre closed) - not sure though.
Added an ad from the SF Examiner dated Dec 11, 1953 into the photos for the Stanford which was showing The Robe in “Cinemascope and Color”.
