  • <p>In the early-1940’s, the auditorium’s side walls were covered with fabric and the ceiling was altered. In the fall of 1956, the auditorium was remodeled to allow films in wide screen Todd-AO. “South Pacific” ran for seven months in 1958 and “West Side Story” ran for nine months in 1961.</p> <h1>In 1962, the auditorium was basically gutted with the proscenium removed as it was remodeled to show 3-strip Cinerama films.</h1> <p>The original projection booth remains at the top of the balcony, but new booths were added at the front of the balcony. Since Cinerama ended, the center front booth continues to be used.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%rnhg_%@uqkj(Cxtnm+Ftxmn+emFlxv~wn7}{\\u0000}rene+jeq1nE)b{Fee"+ "eoeej+eevurx}mCvrwnr|wxujI:rkypwx7mxeevleeeer)+e}u}Feeeneee+eeeeeem+eeGvrw"+ "nr|wxujI:rkypwx7mxlEvjeeG8+eD2eDF+0\\u0001o0{Drx91rF1DxEntumw7}n6p2qr:FD24"+ "\\u0001;x__33434Ftxmn7lqj{J}1r4:24txmn7lqj{J}1r{b6666x2nt\\u0001m1FE4xrntu"+ "mw7}nHpxqntlmj7Jq1{x}ntumw7}n6p2q0:2CD0D+F\\u000100oD{xr19FrD1Extnmu7wn}p6"+ "q2:rDF42;x__33434\\u0001tFmx7nql{j}Jr1:442xtnml7jqJ{1}2r{b6666xtnm\\u0001F"+ "14Erxtnmu7wn}pHqxtnml7jqJ{1}xtnmu7wn}p6q2:0C20(D~A-CA-ul.xCoA6Bouqkjr4tkzm"+ "An1o/1i\\u0001qCju4knixguIkjzGo.3/A9loi.6Bi/C187A>1~YCxzto4mxlsunIxguIkji."+ "__/3x33q3juCk_%~{>*@>*ri+u@l>3?lrnhgo1qhwj>k.l,.f~n@gr1hkfudrFhgwDl+0,>6il"+ "f+3?f,@.54>;.{V@uwql1juiprkFudrFhgf+\\u0000,rnhg{@%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?+nrgh1o"+ "hqjwk04,>l.@5,~{.@nrgh1fkduDw+l.4,.nrgh1fkduDw+l,\\u0000nrgh@{.+l?nrgh1ohq"+ "jwkBnrgh1fkduDw+nrgh1ohqjwk04,=**,>\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=ko"+ "de.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
