The Cinerama film THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD was shown there in 70mm on the huge deeply curved screen, but not advertised as being in Cinerama.
I understand that Cinerama Inc were not impressed that they installed 70mm Cinerama size screens but never advertised them as being Cinerama.
All three cinemas were equipped to screen 70mm film and did so.
Cinema 3 was the smallest of the three theatres.
