Author Topic: "Added Attractions" circa 2002 TCM Documentary Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 04-11-2006 10:48 AM                     Hi all TCM aired their 2002 documentary about cinema shorts last night. Anyhow, their was some concentration on the Warner Vitaphone studios. As part of the documentary, they interviewed a projectionist/cinema owner (?) unsure of who he is because he is uncredited. This individual ran a sound-on-disc performance w/ WE U-Bases, c/a & c/o in operation. The interview/demo took place in what looked like a restored Fox West Coast restored movie palace. They briefly flashed the guys name, I think it was Don Nicholson or something like that. Does anyone have any more infor on this? Cheers Kutler  |  IP: Logged Jeffry L.
