To John Messick – Thanks for your comments. They turned out rather nicely. But what a stunning subject to start with. For the lobby shots, I literally had 5 minutes, while my car was in the white loading zone out front, with the helpful theatre manager watching out for inspectors.
Delighted to announce that I have now added a new slideshow of seven stunning images of the lobby/foyer and concession area to my online collection of Crest images. The index offers you a choice of Flash viewing, or HTML. Older versions of Internet Explorer may have problems with the web versions. But it works just fine if you have a Flash plugin.I suggest when viewing the Flash versions, you drag your bowser window as big as you can. The images will resize larger.
To Roadshow – The Crest has a link to my 4 slideshows from their site (you will need popups enabled). Or you can go directly to http://www.jamesgordongallery.com/crestslides/, or via my blog at http:www.itookthat.com, then click on the link on right: Stunning Art Deco Cinema. I did it as a freebie to showcase the Westwood Majestic Crest interiors. Enjoy.
Hey John M – James G here. We (JaneD and I) got to meet and talk with Simon Overton – quite a character and a showman. We just loved the Ceremony of the Curtains – with lighting and multiple curtain effects in his pocket-sized theatre.
The original set of slides is now revised and expanded with new views. Four panoramas have been added, another of some of the art deco details, and a fourth set devoted to showing many of the murals.
There are identical Flash and HTML versions of each, and a cool new index page with access to both the Flash and the HTML pages.
I am not affiliated with the theatre, or engaged to do this work. It is simply a labor of love for this wonderful cinema in my neighborhood. People deserve to see the murals.
John – Thanks. And I did not get shots of the concession are, not this time around at least. My goal was simply to capture the auditorium. However, I am still working on some unshown shots of the walls, murals and screens, including (maybe) a simulation of the lights dimming.
Want to take a look at the murals inside. I did an independent, free photoshoot of them to show up the lovely glowing look. View at the theatre site, www.westwoodcrest.com, then click on special events, and then on the link to the Majestic Crest Pictures. Or go directly to the slideshow at my site http:www.jamesgordongallery.com/crestslides. I am not affiliated, and the images are not for sale. I am a photographic artist and I love the cinema.
Just a reminder to all that you can view slideshows of the interiors, murals and lobby+ceiling at http://jamesgordongallery.com/crestslides
It does seem a little ironic.

Latest additions to slideshows of Westwood’s Majestic Crest Theatre interior and murals!!
I just finished a major upgrade to the slideshows of The Crest online, and am pleased with how it looks and works.
There are now four separate slide shows, all accessed off www.westwoodcrest.com (you need to enable popups), or directly on my site: www.jamesgordongallery.com/crestslides

Tom – Glad you enjoyed! I was sleepless last night, so put up the link to my pics in this forum. I plan to add more images from the shoot I did – more angles, more murals. For those who want to see it http://www.jamesgordongallery.com/crestslides (Flash), or http://www.jamesgordongallery.com/crestweb (web pages). Pass the word along.
