This photo in the display glass window is that of the 1955 curved Todd-AO screen set up on stage for ‘Oklahoma’. It is labeled D-150 1968 curved screen. The huge wrap around UA D-150 screen came out of the stage at the top and curved out into the side seats with curtains .Hope they change the wording or photo some day. They moved the 70mm projection booth down to the back rear seating area now the lobby for 70mm D-150. I was there and always remember the large curved presentation in stereo surround sound. Too bad the Netflick/American Cinematheque people did not put in a curved screen replacement for the new look. At least the new screen is a larger flat/scope screen with masking better then the small one that was put in on the last fatal remodel job.
