Heaven’s gate was the final film played there
I saw “The Dirty Dozen” there in 1967 when on R&R from Vietnam. Projected in 70mm the image was super big. Interestingly, the film was subtitled but when the Germans were speaking the subtitles were in Japanize. As a projectionist later in the US I was surprised that 70mm prints did not happen there.
