Want to take a quick peek at the projection room in an abandoned movie theater? Come on in…
In one corner: tangles and tangles of old film from who knows how many movies:
Taped to the wall, a schedule of movie showtimes, possibly from one of the last day’s of the theater’s existence: Nuns on the Run, Crazy People, and Another 48 Hours would put this at sometime in the early 1990s. Toward the end of its existence, the theater used to do quadruple features (!!), and it’s pretty wild to think about starting this run at 11:22pm…
On a nearby shelf…
Old bottles of oil to keep the Simplex projector running:
Just outside: a closet with ancient breaker switches for the equipment:
And something I’m sure Tarantino would approve of…
A vintage doorway curtain of gold rings leading into the booth. Would love to know how many operators passed through during its near-century of operation…
