Opened 6/9/2000.
Grand opening ad posted.
The January, 2001 issue of Boxoffice said that Eastern Federal had installed a device called a Tivoli Starlight Panel in their Starlight Cinema at Anderson. It projected star patterns on the ceiling of the lobby, including signs of the zodiac. The theater held a weekly contest in which the first patron to identify which constellation was being displayed received a free movie pass.
The star projections must have been a temporary installation, but the main “starlight” effect in the lobby appears to be fiber optic lines which terminate in the ceiling tiles. I have added photos (from yesterday) of the starlight effect in the lobby interior. This installation was such a flex – very unnecessary and certainly very expensive, but I love it so much! This facility is very 90s-contemporary – I don’t think much has changed since it opened in 2000, but they’re keeping what they have in outstanding condition.
I posted a video showing the animated “starlight” effect in the lobby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfT6-Mb3IUI
Thanks for the additional information and the images, toasterking. Here is a hyperlink to your video at YouTube. From the description in Boxoffice I thought this might have been a system like the ones used in old atmospheric theaters in the 1920s, but fiber optics makes much more sense for the beginning of the 21st century.
