When I was a young brooding girl, I'd go to Sunday afternoon double features at the local theaters, and they were just as they'd been in the forties and fifties--aisle carpets with cabbage rose designs, heavy curtains on the walls, velvet curtains on the stage in front of the screen...
There's a small old theater in a nearby town of 6000 people, and the theater's been redone just as in the old days. I've been there once, and the sound is wonderful! Those giant speakers--I'd forgotten how grand that deep, rich sound was.
All in all, I prefer the new stadium seating. Why didn't they think of that before, back in the old days?
