Comments | It was closed in early 1968 to be rebuilt into a Super Cinerama house. The projection booth was moved to the orchestra with a pair of DP 75. In the beginning it was operated by the German Cinerama GmbH |
Current status | They still have the 17,5 meters curved screen (new screen installed end of 2004) and are running presently with 2 - DP75, but will install within the next 2 months a refurbished DP70, which will do all the 70mm jobs. |
