A 1963 photo from house right. Thanks to John Nevik for sharing this one on a post about the Dome on the Friends of 70mm Facebook page.
An early view of the Cinerama Dome interior from an R.L. Grosh ad in the Boxoffice issue of January 6, 1964.
A shot of the theatre still with its original color draperies -- before the change to dark blue. It's one by Lori/Stutefish that was once on Flickr but has vanished from that platform.
A crowd at the Dome before a show. While this view appeared with an In70mm.com article about a 2002 3-strip screening of "This is Cinerama," the color of the draperies let's us know that it's an earlier photo.
Hiroshi Sugimoto's Theater Series resulted from a question he asked: "Suppose you shoot a whole movie in a single frame? And the answer: You get a shining screen. Immediately I sprang into action, experimenting toward realizing this vision." We don't know what film he saw at the Dome in 2003 but this was the result. A number of Mr. Sugimoto's photos of theatre auditoria appear on a Portfolio: Movie Theatres page from C4 Contemporary Art. Also see the Hiroshi Sugimoto page on Artsy.
