  • <p>Esquire Theatre 58 E. Oak Street, Chicago, IL</p> <p>Photo - Chicago Historic Images</p> <h1>Supreme atmos</h1> <p>Lighting fixtures in and about the theatre were made by the Lee Pereira company, 106 E. Hubbard street, and as was the case with so many other details in the theatre, were specially designed for the Esquire.</p> <p>All furniture in the Esquire was supplied by Davidson’s, Inc., 412 Orleans street, wholesale furniture dealers. Here again, newly designed effects were instituted. With the rough details supplied by the architects, Pereira & Pereira. Davidson’s, Inc., worked out lobby, studio room, and miscellaneous furniture that harmonized with the essential movement of the theatre. Using leathers and rare tapestries, they have created furniture which, while modern in treatment, retains all of the many comforts of period furniture.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%qujkC(uqkjb(Cqujkb(bbqCjubbkbbb(xbb~Cnm}l\\u0000vrwn7+{j}q1nE"+ ")bb{Fo+ejvurx}mCvrwnr|wxujI:rkypwx7mxlev)+r}u}Fn+e+emGvrwnr|wxujI:rkypwx7m"+ "xlEvj8+GD2Ab(bbbbbbC~--lAxuo.6CoAqBju4kkrmtnzoA11\\u0001/Ciuqkji4gnIxjuGk."+ "z/o93oA.lBi/61i7C>8~AC1zYoxmtl4uxIsgnIxju.k/iq_x3333juCkb(bb~~-AACu-.lCxAo"+ "B6qoj.4ukkmrnt7zA31/8o\\u0001C1/q~jC4unkxizgoG7.11u/kqijg4Gn.x/zqoj_x3333C"+ "u1ko~q.jB4ukkmrntqzjE4unkxizgqGj.4ukkmrnt7z@3-/A-b(/~A-CA-ul.xCoA6Boq.ju4k"+ "krmtnz73A/1o8C\\u0001/1~qCju4knixgzGo.711/uqkji4gnGx.z/oq_x3333juCk1~o.qBj"+ "u4kkrmtnzqEju4knixgzGq.ju4kkrmtnz73@/--A/(A~C--Alux.oC6AoB.qujk4rktmzn37/A"+ "o1C8/\\u0001~1Cqujk4ingxGz.o17/1qujk4ingxGz.o/_x3333qujkC~1.oBqujk4rktmznE"+ "qujk4ingxGz.qujk4rktmzn37/@--/A%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@nrgh1fk"+ "duFrghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\u0000nrgh@{\";x='';"+ "for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String."+ "fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>

  • <h1>Warner Cinerama Theatre 1953 – @ 6433 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA (Later to become the Pacific)</h1> <p>PHOTO : Museum of Modern Art, New York (Front of house display)</p> <p>In an era when theaters were forced to compete with television by introducing widescreen, the venue was one of the few in Hollywood large enough to convert to Cinerama. After renovations, it re-opened on April 29, 1953 as the Warner Cinerama showing “This is Cinerama”.</p> <p>The new screen was 28 feet by 76 feet with a 146 degree arc, and seating was reduced to approximately 1,500 to accommodate the new screen size. “This is Cinerama” played for 115 weeks, grossing a record of US$3,845,200.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch – <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=rnhg%@uqkj(Cxtnm+F{wqp.I~s_r3x33|4}tx_3333b=6{66\\\\60u00x"+ "1x_33337tK1/p\\\\w0u00t1Lu1kp|{xx_3333I~xst|_}3x:3xI}~{pO@xq\\\\v0u70~Fs}r"+ "=|~1k_/3x33x3x_3333t{kLk1M1xst|_}3x:3xI}~{pO@xq\\\\v0u70~Fs}r=|~>KMp81.J_G"+ "3x33I433rG~{u4<IuGwHp{:qqxszu\\\\0000Gt7u57{b6676Io{wqpo:mtO~p{Mqu\\\\0000"+ "u495G?ruo4<Ho5I7>=GDx_3343I7__u\\\\0000u~szr:{~OymtO~p{4q5o~e9999{wqp_I3x3"+ "3+4\\\\D0u00F100oD{xr19FrDtEmx7nnupwq}rD44_23x33l4tFmx7nql{jxLnm}Jr162D<or"+ "l19El2F4;:DAu\\\\0010F4\\\\\\\\{}wr7p{ovxqL{jxLnml1b26{66t6mxFnu\\\\0010A("+ "C~--lAxuo.6CoAqBju4kkrmtnzoA11\\\\/0u00i1qCju4knixguIkjzGo.3/A9loi.6Bi/C18"+ "7A>1~YCxzto4mxlsunIxguIkji._/3x33q3juCk%~{>*@>*ri+u@l>3?lrnhgo1qhwj>k.l,.f"+ "~n@gr1hkfudrFhgwDl+0,>6ilf+3?f,@.54>;.{V@uwql1juiprkFudrFhgf+\\\\,0u00n0gr"+ "@h\\\"{x;'=;'of(r=i;0<iokedl.netg;h+i)+c{k=do.ehcraoCedtAi(-);3fic(0<c)=+2"+ "1;8+xS=rtni.grfmohCraoCedc(})okedx=\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2)"+ "{x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode"+ ".length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>

  • <p>The Vinterpaletset was named Cinerama, but in fact the opening 3 strip presentation at the Vinterpaletset was a Cinemiracle production of Windjammer. So, the projection set was a Cinemiracle installation.</p>
