Not to take anything away from Miami but I’m bitting my nails waiting for Denver’s turn. BTW – AlAlvarez, I liked those lobby pictures connected to the Sheridan link.
The Southern Premiere usually included any area south of Washington D.C. and east of Texas. Movies were rushed to Miami in order to catch New Yorkers on vacation or take advantage of celebrities in the area who could attend gala events.
“THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD” was advertised as a SOUTHERN WORLD PREMIERE which really makes you wonder where the SOUTHERN WORLD really starts.
Thanks so much, Al. All those Cinerama ads on display in one place -wow! And an ongoing thanks to you, Michael, for this wonderful series.

Excellent series!
What’s the difference between a “Florida Premiere” and a “Southern Premiere”?
You’re up to 27…which begs the question: How many Cinerama cities were there?
