One of our theatres, the Regent in Colonial Heights, VA, had two curtains before CinemaScope was installed, so I know they had two motors. But after they got CinemaScope, they had just one curtain with the masking attached to the leading edges of the curtain, and they had to stop the curtain in order to mask a flat picture. I don't know why they didn't use the other motor for separate masking. Quite a few of our theatres in Richmond, Petersburg, Hopewell, and Colonial Heights had this system. They were all operated by Neighborhood Theatres of Virginia.
