Most enjoyable was the showing of vintage 3 ¼ inch square slides which included Morgan made forthcoming film titles advertised during the 1940s & 50s. A reel of old adverts & trailers. The late President of the CTA, Tony Moss gave a wonderful slide show and talk of old cinemas. The enlarged projection room was an obvious attraction with two projectors, and a tower. But also behind the screen which revealed the old screen curtain track still in situ. The old academy screen wooden screen frame and speaker chamber on the stage back wall. The last cinema in UK to allow smoking in the circle was the Coronet Cinema an old Edwardian theatre also known as the Gaumont in Notting Hill Gate London. The cinema was featured in the Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts film “Notting Hill”  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-21-2005 01:16 AM                        quote: Stephen Furley The proscenium arch is based on the design of a famous bridge, but I cannot remember which one. Do you remember if they said the Bridge of Sighs or the Rialto? It looks vaguely Venetian-inspired, but the broken pediment at the CL doesn't ring any bell.  |  IP: Logged
