You can then set it up under edit/advanced/cache to load up a fresh copy every visit to the page. AOL is a real problem for web based forums due to their cacheing. Netscape will solve that problem, but will slow you down a bit on non-forum web pages.  |  IP: Logged Nic Margherio Film Handler Posts: 91 From: St. Louis MO, USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 07-02-2000 09:19 PM                     Another true "movie palace" not to miss is Powell Symphony Hall - right across the street form the Fox. Most people are unaware that it was originally a movie theatre and although it hasn't shown a film in almost forty years, it remains a spectacular reminder of how great old "movie palaces" were. Of course there are very few events there right now as the Symphony season doesn't start until October.  |  IP: Logged Richard C.

Another great theatre. What ever happened to the Ambassador Theatre? Did they ever tear it down? That was another great one.  |  IP: Logged Travis Cape Expert Film Handler Posts: 122 From: St. Louis, MO, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 07-03-2000 05:10 PM                     Yes, Powell Hall was the St. Louis theatre. Right after they closed with "Sound of Music" the XL's were sent to my theatre to replace the supers. The Ambassador went down in 1995 I think. It went with a fight though. no one told the wrecking crew the beams were filled with cement. It was torn down for "green space" for the neighboring bank. I tried to go in to check out the leftovers, but the scary demolition crew chased me off. I had been told that the original booth had been left untouched after Cinerama was installed. Later it was upgraded to DP70's. I hope that info was wrong because they won't let me go fetch.  |  IP: Logged
