If my finite memory serves me well, this is where I first saw “My Fair Lady” as a child back in the early-1970’s. From what I can recall it was a single projector Cinerama with a giant curved screen.
Based on a view of a recent aerial photograph, it appears that the other two auditoriums were built from the ground up as opposed to splitting up the main one.

According to the Box Office article it states this to be an UltraVision theatre, thanks tinseltoes.
Ok dumb queston what was ultavision? was it a theater chain or a type of scope?
That was a system where two projectors were fused together through a series of mirrors and projected on the screen.
One auditorium was built from the ground up (first film to show in it was “The Spy Who Loved Me” in 1977). The Ultra-Vision auditorium was split in two a year later.
