The intersting thing about this conversion for Todd AO is that a chunk had to be taken out of the centre front of the circle to allow the beam of the downstairs 70mm projetors to miss the over-hang. The curved screen and wall curtains were in yellow. For some reason the trailers and adverts were in 35mm and from the original projection room at the rear of the circle. ABC cinemas had Phillips DP70 projectors, which were considered to be the Rolls-Royce for 70mm exhibitions. Sadly, many of these were scrapped as they were not suitable for automated operation like the rival Cinemeccanica Victoria 8 machines.
