My mom used to work as a secretary for the KB chain back in the 50s and 60s. Often took my sister and I as kids to see major premiers for free at the MacArthur (with full-size color programs as mentioned) including Lawrence of Arabia, The Sand Pebbles, The Longest Day, and Sound of Music. Usually watched (when unused) from the balcony screening room enclosed with full-width viewing window so we wouldn’t disturb others if we made some noise. Also remember a KB cinerama theater where we saw the initial 3-projector widescreen version of 2001:A Space Odyssey, but can’t recall the name of that theater. Anyone know? Glad CVS at least retained the original marquis and name.
