Southroads Cinema

I worked the extra board here in 1980-1983. My mentor was the late Glen Raines, probably one of the most professional operators I have ever had the pleasure to work with. The booth was nearly spotless with Century heads and Ashcraft Super Cinex water-cooled lamphouses. Up until the theater was twinned and prior to its eventual demolition, it ran with an enjoyable “changeover” booth that preceded the challengeless era of platters and “cold” xenon light sources.
