From Feb. 15th - April 30th, the Stanford Theatre in Palo Alto, CA is presenting an 11 week program of 66 Hollywood musicals released between 1929 and 1939. Included in the program, according to the calendar I received, are rare titles from the UCLA Film Archive and each Sat. night they will be showing original nitrate prints. The calendar doesn't specify exactly which prints are nitrate, but the Saturday titles include "The Big Broadcast", "Hallelujah, I'm a Bum", "The Kid From Spain", "We're Not Dressing", "Roman Scandals", "Three Smart Girls", "Shall We Dance" (not the miramax movie of a few years ago) "Artists and Models", "On the Avenue", "100 Men and a Girl", and "Rose of Washington Square" just to name a few.There doesn't seem to be an official Stanford Theatre page, but here's a link to a fan page about the theatre if you would like more info. http://www.swixo.com/stanford/

Ky, That's great! It's nice to hear that the booth I sold them and installed is still doing it's job! It's a classy theatre and a classy booth! Simplex PR-1002 XLs,SH-1000s and Peerless type F lamps!(From the Keystone Theatre in Reno, NV.) Yes! David Packard did a great job restoring the place! The booth was the first 'Nitrate' compatible carbon arc booth installed and inspected in California in over 30 years! They did it so they can run things like this series! If anyone has a chance to go..it's a theatre that will take you back in time!!! I have many stories about the place, but my favorite was on openeing night, Packard had booked a nitrate print of
Wizard of OZ, he was making his presentation to the audience and he laughed about one journalist while interviewing him wanted to know if this print was the 'colorized' version!!! Of course Packard replied that it was IB Technicolor, and then had to spend another 10 minutes explaining that!!!------------------
