I was the first assistant manager there with Reed, and it was a great place to work. It was by far the nicest theater in the area for years. We were so busy that we often ran movies in “Sync” to house the crowds. In order to do that, we had to run the films through the offices and halls on many rollers with hundreds of feet between projectors. It was quite a site to see. The 70 mm projector was a monster Century water cooled projector with a 3000 watt xenon bulb. We did not get many large format prints, but it was still a great projector and shook the ground when you started it up. By the way, there was always a projectionist on staff. It was the best job in the place.
