Author Topic: Keith AlbeeTheatre Film Greg Pauley Expert Film Handler Posts: 173 From: Huntington, WV, USA Registered: Jun 2000 posted 12-18-2005 02:09 AM                        Thought some of you who love the old movie palaces would like to see a film that was made back in the late 70’s of Keith Albee Theatre in Huntington, WV. We became aware of the film about a year ago and decided to place on the website. The film maker was Theresa Shantz who at the time was a Marshall University student who made the film for her communication class. Some parts of the video are dark, so you may want to adjust your monitor to lighten. http://www.ourshowtimes.com/keithalbee/pages/photos.htm  |  IP: Logged Edwin Schwing Expert Film Handler Posts: 116 From: Las Vegas NV Registered: May 2002 posted 12-18-2005 05:24 AM                     LOVED IT!  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 12-18-2005 09:38 AM                        Nice job! I serviced this beautiful theatre a few times in 72 or 73 when I worked for Altec Service Corp. It was one screen then with the original Western Electric system in the booth (no money spent since 1928). Of the six Altec A4 woofers, I reconed four at that time due to stage show damage.

I also liked the Cinema 4 and the Camelot down the street, though, being downtown, sometimes it was hard to find a place to park the truck to drop off the movies.  |  IP: Logged Greg Pauley Expert Film Handler Posts: 173 From: Huntington, WV, USA Registered: Jun 2000 posted 12-18-2005 10:04 AM                        Louis, Same A2’s still in place! Although, we did modify the cabinets in the 90’s per Lonnie Jennings whenever he worked at Dolby and added new horns. The house now has a CP500 with QSC amps and a Technalite lamphouse.  |  IP: Logged
