I bought a 35mm print on 4 reels at a garage sale and thought it was pretty neat that I got to see it at the duplex theater about a mile from my house. One of the neighbor kids worked there in the consession stand. The print turned out to be some kind of documentary that was kind of boring. But I do have that memory of the projectionist agreeing to show the film after theater hours. Back in the day a projectionist had to know what he was doing. Now it's all automated. It's sad how technology can takeaway jobs that at one time was specialized. Yes, I was an AV geek in junior high, but everything we had was on 16mm film no 35mm films. Are our projectors were Bell and Howell Filmosound units. Solidly built projectors.

One of the consequences of nitrate base film - a 35mm projection room had to be fireproof with barrier walls separating it from the audience. So, classroom use was 16mm acetate base "safety" film only.

Used to be a relief projectionist (IATSE Union at that). First film I ran, "Snow White" for an afternoon Kiddie Matinee. Second film I ran, "Star Wars" and the first evening show I ever ran 35 mm on, on an old tired Motiograph. What used to be the Ridge Theater in Oak Ridge. Later on, I got to run relief duty at the Grove Theater and Simplex XL and RCA soundheads.
