I lived in Southbridge on Mechanic Street till 1961 and use to walk to a movie theatre. It might have been this one.

Hi Mark,

I would like to see that ad for Cinerama. I have a web site all about Cinerama and would add the ad to the Twin Drive-In.

Cinerama commented about REMEMBERING CINERAMA (Part 51: Rochester) on Sep 10, 2012 at 8:02 am

South Seas Adventure was released in 1958. Tampa and El Paso did not show it till four or five years later. By that time travelog films were not that popular.

Cinerama commented about REMEMBERING CINERAMA (Part 50: Portland) on May 25, 2012 at 3:23 pm

3-strip Cinerama had an aspect ratio of about 2.6:1. 70mm Cinerama Ultra Panavision films like Khartoum, It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Hallelujah Trail and Battle of the Bulge had an aspect ratio of 2.76:1 so they looked fine on Cinerama screens. But the flat 70mm films like Grand Prix, 2001 a space odyssey and the 1973 re-issue of This Is Cinerama had an aspect ratio of 2.2:1 so they did not cover as much of the Cinerama screen.

Cinerama commented about Mimi Ohio Theatre on Feb 15, 2009 at 2:13 pm

Did this theatre ever promote itself as a Cinerama theatre? The book Cleveland’s Playhouse Square, has a picture of the Palace Cinerama theatre and below it says “The State and the Ohio also showed Cinerama films”.

Cinerama commented about Titan Theatre on Apr 27, 2006 at 1:18 pm

Thanks William. I’m going through a Motion Picture Exhibitor magazine that said it could show a Cinerama film. A number of theatres that were built in the 60’s were promoted as such but never did show and promote a film as being “In Cinerama”.

Cinerama commented about Titan Theatre on Apr 27, 2006 at 11:33 am

Does anyone know if the Titan Theatre ever promoted any of the films being shown as “in CINERAMA”?
