Classic cinemas had them for years, they were yellow and blue kaliedoscope images with, showing now /next week in classic 1/ 2 you have just been watching scenes from our next presentation,friday for 7 days,and various others,all with voice overs, and i think they were made by Rebel trailers. Miss them very much these days.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-12-2012 12:28 PM                        They have 'classic-like' tags...  |  IP: Logged William Kucharski Expert Film Handler Posts: 244 From: Louisville, Colorado, United States of America Registered: Oct 2012 posted 11-13-2012 12:30 AM                     The post about drive-ins was right-on - tailgates extending past the roof line block vision for several rows behind you. As far as the preview subject goes, you could always use the first thirty seconds or so of Kill Bill, Vol. 1.  |  IP: Logged Robert Throop Master Film Handler Posts: 412 From: Vernon, NY USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-13-2012 09:04 AM                     quote: Frank Angel When I was a kid, the RKO-Keiths in Flushing (Long Island) New York, they used project a kind of subtitle at the bottom of the screen through-out each trailer that gave you the start day. One would always say, STARTS WEDNESDAY or COMING SOON or OUR NEXT ATTRACTION When I was a kid the Capitol in Rome, NY did this. They used Radiomat slides where you typed the message and projected it with their carbon arc effect machine ( Chicago Cinema ). As a teenager I visited a theatre in Roswell, NM. It was either the Yucca or the Plains. They actually had light boxes beneath the screen with backlit transparencies with these messages. The projectionist threw a switch and the box flashed on and off during the trailer. I thought it was pretty neat.  |  IP: Logged Jock Blakley Expert Film Handler Posts: 218 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Oct 2011 posted 11-13-2012 04:55 PM                     We still project daters from glass slides in a carbon-arc machine. Funny feeling to strike the arc (in an 83-year-old projector, no less) standing next to a 4K DLP machine.  |  IP: Logged
