Warnors Fresno was originally Pantages, then Stanley Warner, Warner, and finally Warnors. The original Robert Morton pipe organ remains playable in the theatre. When the theatre was purchased by Frank Caglia in 1973, every remaining part of the Cinerama days was removed and the auditorium restored to its original 1928 configuration.

If you go to Roland Lataille’s excellent Cinerama website:

you will count 141 theaters in the United States that showed Cinerama (3-strip and/or 70mm) at one time or another.

In its heyday, how many cities in the United States showed Cinerama?
