@AbandonedAmerica No more beams of light creating new realities. Have you seen #EmpireOfLight yet? It has things to say about beams of light.

I think the port in the ceiling is the exhaust vent for the carbon arc lights that used to be in projectors. Smoky stuff. Great pic!

@phaysis thanks! I didn't know that.

@AbandonedAmerica looks like some places I’ve worked in as projectionist! I’m only slightly exaggerating. 😉

@AbandonedAmerica Loved this photo! It brought back very old memories. My paternal grandfather and one of my uncles were projectionists in a movie theater on mid-town Manhattan. I have vague memories, as a small child, of visiting the booth as the films rolled on.

Now that's something you didn't see in every theatre... a bathroom for the projectionist! You need one close by during a double feature!
