I have some things about the Majestic/
Shubert theatre in Chicago I need to mention.
This theatre was one of the building in
th early 1900's to have several of the first
Otis gearless traction elevators installed.
I assume that the original hoist motors
are still in operation. What I need to know
is if there has been any Simplex projectors
or any other models and brands used since
its early days. What projection equipment
is presently in there,and is it still in
use?
