When Paul Allen restored the Cinerama Theater in Seattle
he restored, and installed a complete Cinerama system
including the louvered screen. Although most of the films
shown are current releases, they show original Cinerama
prints there during the Seattle Film Festival. I had
tickets to see "This is Cinerama" there at the grand-re-
opening of the theater, but had to be in traffic court
instead. At least I got off. :-)
