I was at the theater when Sherman converted it to rep programming. (Actually helped dismantle the ramp that was used for the strippers betwen movies.) Sherman added the “new” to the Beverly since there was also operating at the same time a theater in Beverly Hills called the Beverly Theatre.

You used to be able to see the line on the ceiling from the days that Rohauer had twinned the theater. I was projecting and I helped program the theater with Sherman for some 25 years plus. Many memories of things that happened in the theater. 
                At some time in the 1980"s we somehow got an Amber tinted nitrate print of Rebecca. It was in gorgeous shape but made for a nervous 2 days in the booth. (The projectors had Nitrate rollers which would limit a fire, but the booth did not have potal shutters)
