Not sure if it was the first movie shown at the Cooper, but I still vividly remember seeing “How The West Was Won” in all its Cineramic glory (three projectors!) there in the mid-1960’s. The theater itself was carpeted, and there was a concession stand located in the middle of the theater where refreshments were served during the intermission.
By the time I saw “The Last Emperor” at the Cooper ca. 1987, the one large theater had been divided into two smaller screening rooms.
