Strand Theatre

Thanks Texas for this great 1954 CinemaScope® ad from NY. I remember as a kid going to see it with my parents and brother at the Golden State DelMar Theatre in downtown Santa Cruz CA on their new wide screen. We had to sit up on the right side of the balcony and I remember one of the fist times hearing 4 track mag stereo sound from the wall surround RCA speakers when the airplane engines started to fail. I kept looking up at the speakers with the sound effects that came on at times during the film. Was so happy when our family got our first stereo record turntable in the late 1950’s. I think I even bought the soundtrack album.
