There were spaces for 3-strip films, but they were never used. By the time they showed their 1st CINERAMA movie (Mad Mad World) a new booth was installed for single projection 70mm. They did have a CINERAMA screen, but it was removed in the 1999 restoration.
In the early 70’s, the theatre re-opened (it had closed in the late 60’s) to show classics like “Fiddler On The Roof” and other 70mm films. They still had the CINERAMA screen then.
Since the restoration in 1999, the theatre is mostly used for live shows, but there is a screen, albeit a small one, for movies – if they should want to show any.
