There are now two DP70 projectors (yet to be installed) at the Loew's Jersey Theatre in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA. The serial number of one of them is #2164 (I have not had the chance to read the number plate of the other), and I believe they came from a Cineplex Odeon in Washington, D.C. You can see the theatre's web site. I love the [DP70] web site, it has been very helpful and entertaining reading the history of these amazing projectors. - Robert Minichino, 03.12.2005

BuffaloGranada Theatre (*»)
 Two DP70 (608+679) were sold to the Eckel Theatre in Syracuse in 1959. Later, after showing "Windjammer" in Cinemiracle, another pair of DP70s were installed probably with three digit numbers. "Around the World in 80 Days" opened 03.10.1957. 1142 seats. The Granada was demolished sometime in the 1980's.

You will note in the article, the first installation of the DP70 was in Buffalo. It was at our Granada theater, where serial #s 1 & 2 were installed. The screen at that theater was NOT curved. It was just torn down two years ago. They had 2 1/2 rotating carbons in the lamphouse, and there were no ports in the booth, just a giant sheet of glass, so the projectors could be moved. Before the theater closed, the projectors were moved to the I 290 Drive In, to test brightness and stability on a drive in screen. "Scrooge" ran in 70mm at the drive in.

DewittKallet Shoppingtown Theatre (*)
 Text by: Robert Throop. Images by: George Read

The film was "Ben Hur". This was the original Shoppingtown Theatre in Dewitt, NY, USA. This was a single screen house that opened in 1957 and closed in 1968. The equipment was then moved to a two screen theatre in a new building at the other end of the shopping center. Those theatres were split about 1985 to make a fourplex which closed about 1996.


 
 Two DP70 EL 4001 numbers: (605+635). DP70 installed March 1957 and opened with "South Pacific" during Christmas 1957 (editors note: "South Pacific" did not open until April 1958 i New York). Curved (adjustable curveture) Todd-AO screen app 49 x 23 ft and 1010 seats. First cinema in the USA constructed specifically for Todd-AO. 1957's only Todd-AO house between New York and Buffalo. Played "The Sound of Music" for 77 weeks. Twined in 1969 and both projectors went into the right auditorium. Four screens from 1985. The two projectors listed for Dewitt, NY were in place and in operation through 1996. That theater was closed and a new theater opened inside the nearby mall sometime in 1996. I do not know where the projectors went but they are no longer in the now vacant theater building. The projectors began their life sometime in the early 60s at a site in the lower section of the adjacent mall. "The Sound of Music" was one of the film which ran in this theater which was then owned and operated by Kallet Theaters. Sometime around 1970 a new building (the now vacant structure) housing two screens (about 800 seats each) was built on the outer edge of the mall parking lot. The two Norelco were moved to the new location and two Cinemaccanica 35/70s were installed in the other theater. In the late 80s the two screens were subdived into four screens of about 350 seats each. One projector (with a platter) was installed in each of the four booths. Only booth 3 (where "The Doors" played off a platter) was made 70mm capable. It was the only 70mm to run in the theater after the conversion to four screens. The other Norelco remained in Booth 4 one of the original booths but could no longer run 70mm. I worked relief in that booth through the 80s and early 90s working four days a week from 1992 to 1995. I only ran two 70mms in my time there. One was "Ghostbusters", the second I do not recall the title I only ran it once. The theater was operated by Kallet into the 70s and then operated by Cinema National who were bought out by USA Cinemas, who were bought out by Loews/Sony, from whom Hoyts Cinemas purchased the operation and finally closed it when they moved their operation to a new ten-plex in the mall. When Hoyts purchased the operation all union projectionists were eliminated from the booths in all of the theaters purchased. George Abbott, Relief Projectionist

 Image by Paul Rayton

Two DP70 (923+924) bought around 1990 from The Reviera Theatre for USD 13.000. 2000 seats. The screen is a Harkness Hall Micro Perf sheet and has a matte plus surface.  It is mounted flat on a "Fly", so that it can lowered at the touch of a button. Available surface is 24 feet high X 62 feet wide. Travelling masking is present at the top and sides. 70mm image approximately 20.8 feet X 46 feet. Currently, Strong X-60 lamps are mounted on the projectors and approximately 4000 watt Xenons are used to light the screen.

#324 on the RIGHT (facing the screen), and #325 on the LEFT (facing the screen). And, the result of this anomaly is that the machine on the right is "#1", and the machine on the left is "#2", completely out of keeping with MOST places. 25.10.2007 Paul Rayton

SyossetSyosset Theatre (*»)
 Two DP70. 37th 3-strip Cinerama theatre. Opened 26.06.1959 as the first purpose built 70mm/Cinerama theatre in the US. 1450 seats 18 m screen and Ashcraft Super Cinex arcs. Cinema closed and demolished early 90s.

The Syosset opened in late 1956 or early 1957. They opened with a special showing of "Oklahoma!". They ran regular 35mm for several weeks and brought "Oklahoma!" back for a 2 week run. Later in 1957 they ran "Around the World in 80 Days". Somewhere I have an issue of International Projectionist from I believe April 1957 describing the installation. Cinerama came later although the theatre may have been constructed with it in mind. I knew a projectionist there years ago and it was a class operation. They routinely got backup prints of the films they were playing. Alas I never visited there. Bob Throop

The theatre had a gigantic screen and the unusual occurrence of 2 mini side screens - one to the left and one to the right of the big screen. To this day I’ve still never seen that! There was a tremendous capacity for the lower orchestra area and a nice, large balcony area. There’d always be an intermission since these movies tended to be so long there. In the early 90’s or maybe late 80’s they converted it to a 5 multi-plex. Of course that ruined all its uniqueness. The outside front façade of the building had "Syosset" written in giant script. In maybe the late 1960’s or early 1970’s they built another gigantic movie theatre, the UA 150 Syosset down the road in what’s actually Woodbury. That just closed recently. That also was a single title movie theatre, basically configured like the other, older theater.

While I no longer live there, it’s definitely a shame that those theaters no longer exist. David Seagal

SyracuseEckel Theatre (*»)
 Two DP70 (608+679). 3-strip Cinerama. Schine Theatres bought the DP70 from Granada Theatre, Buffalo (NY) in 1959 to show "Sleeping Beauty" in 70mm. Became discount house and closed several years ago. Equipment to Todd-AO/Glen Glenn Sound #3 in Hollywood (CA). 913 seats. Now a store

The Eckel installed Cinerama in 1958. They did move the DP70's from the Granada in Buffalo in !959. They were both Schine houses and the Granada installed Cinemiracle for "Windjammer". The Granada later installed another set of DP70's. When I was younger I hung around the booth at the Eckel. The chief projectionist, George Raaflaub would let me thread the projectors. I thought I was in heaven! The Eckel was demolished sometime in the '80's. Bob Throop

 Three DP70 (2002+2123+2277). 2077 is stripped for parts. I recently (08 Dec 2006) bought three DP70 machines from a cinema in Indianapolis that were previously from DisneyWorld surplus. They were in use until this last March 31st 2006 at Key Cinemas in Indianapolis. He had bought them from DisneyWorld surplus 10 or so years ago. I bought them and I am not sure if I will keep them or not. Two of them are running and one of them has been stripped for parts. All of the chassis parts are there but it is missing the internal parts. The serial numbers are below. I notice these numbers are missing from your website. Wood Boxes for 70mm: #953 + #2000.

Sold the parts machine [2008] to a guy in Lancaster, Ohio who owns a theater supply business. He kept some of the parts to complete a machine that he has and took the rest to a scrap yard for recycling.

One of the complete machines with 70mm kit I sold to a gentleman named Bran Ferren on the east coast last year. If you Google him you can read about him. He used to be the head of Disney Imagineering.

I have one complete machine left with a 70mm kit and I recently had it up on ebay for sale. It didn't sell but I have a few interested parties. As soon as I can offload it I will get rid of it. I love the machine and how it looks and it's great engineering but I can't feasibly keep it. With film getting more and more scarce and people trading films less I don't want to be stuck with a 1,500 pound machine that I don't have film to run through or the heart to take it to the scrap yard. I don't want to be moving from house to house for the rest of my life because I can't sell it or scrap it. I hope someone else gets it that will appreciate it.
