I’m getting old and my memory is poor. I believe it was 83 and 84 I managed the Fox. It was a 3 Plex at that time and I don’t recall playing any 70 mm film. I did have the second run of raiders and it was in Dolby surround. The union projectionis ran the booth and I only ran the projectors when they didn’t cover a shift. In all my management years I only recall running one 70 and that was the world premier of ET at Mann’s Christown in Phoenix Arizona
You know what’s bad is I managed that theater for a couple years in the 80’s and I don’t remember the curtains. I had a couple theatres in Phoenix with wonderful curtains and I agree they made it special

The Palms was torn down and replaced with a high-rise. The Maryvale is gone too
Maryvale, metro 8 , Mann’s Christown and the one with great curtains was the Palms Theatre , an old single screen downtown Phoenix

If we had 70mm it was boxed up and never used in the years I managed the theater
