This is reference to some of the posts a couple of months ago.
Around 1959 or 60 I went to the Roxy (while on Xmas vacation from college) and I remember there being an ice show. I can’t even remember the movie. Also, I was sitting in the front orchestra and remember hearing the projectionists talking very loudly with alot of noise. It was very annoying so I turned around and saw that the projection booth was right above me carved out into the mezzanine. I don’t know if there was a booth in the balcony but I kind of doubt it.
Also I believe the music accompanying the CinemaScope extension was used early on when 20th Century Fox first came on the scene. First there was the drum intro segue into that musical conclusion. It was shortened to just the drum roll a few years later. I think Newman also composed the Selznick Logo music which to me is the second best Movie logo of all time, the first being the incomprable MGM Lion. It is always a thrill to see this “live” kinetic logo.
Too bad MGM is really on its last legs. stan at
