Last time I was at the El Capitan theatre here in Los Angeles, I remeber them still having a 'curtain show' like the old movie palaces used to have. First there was the heavy outer curtain; it would rise, creating cresent shaped pleats as it went up. Then was the almost translucent inner curtains, which would split horizontally to reveal the screen. To signal going from the trailers to the main feature, this inner curtain would do a quick open/close routine. I think there may have also been a third, black-mask curtain that adjusted with the screen's changing aspect ratio; but I'm not absolutely sure about that one.

Anyway, very classy and old fashioned. Made me so nostalgic.

Best,
