The Norelco DP-70 projectors (70MM/35mm) came from the former Summit Cinerama Theatre (aka: Cass Theatre) before that theatre was razed.

My wife and I saw “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” along with a Bugs Bunny cartoon last weekend. Four dollar? They should charge more!! The price at the concessions was great! The organ music before, at the intermission and the end was fantastic. WE WILL BE BACK!

She’s a beautiful place. My husband and I were there all the time while dating and engaged. We really miss it now that we’re in PA! How is the artist’s space/lounge in the back doing? It was really exciting to get a peek at that.
As one of the people restoring the Redford I want to say thanks for all the complements. We still need your help. Bring all you friends to see the Redford.
I hope to be able to come for IMITATION OF LIFE, that is one of my all time favs !!
Nice color photo of the Redford Theatre.

I saw Phantom of the Opera (1925 – Lon Chaney), Some like it Hot (M Monroe) and The Mark of Zorro back in the early 90’s. Only classics were being shown then, and just one of two showings a month. But a memorable experience with the organ.
I love the Redford. If only the city of theatres could have held onto a few more..
Only the Redford would be able to have a master organist playing along with the opening credits of Ben Hur! I can still hear the organ chimes.
Favorite moments at the Redford (early 80’s) include a winter power failure (when a local transformer exploded). First, we all sat around and sang songs as one of the organists pulled out an old upright piano. After an hour or so, they realized we couldn’t finish the movie (Paint Your Wagon), so they opened the side door of the theater and drove in a Volkswagen Beetle! The driver pointed his headlights out into the auditorium so everyone could safely exit. We sang all the way home.
