Talk:Alabama Theatre

Address

HABS, Google Local, al.com and many sources give 1811 3rd Avenue South as the address. The theatre website, and the painted numerals over the door show 1817. We'll go with 1817. --Dystopos 15:28, 3 May 2006 (PDT)

I changed the address just before leaving work. In my car, I realized I should have added the address flub to trivia, which I've now done. --Lkseitz 20:30, 3 May 2006 (PDT)

Reference

Martin McCaffery, director of the Capri Theatre in Montgomery, has a nice page of information and photos of Birmingham theaters: Theatres of Birmingham --Dystopos 16:03, 3 May 2006 (PDT)

Full disclosure

Although the page history shows this article was started by User:Dystopos, it was based on a Wikipedia article written by User:Lkseitz. Seitz is a supporter of the Alabama and volunteered there in the 1980s and early 1990s. --Lkseitz 11:02, 26 October 2009 (PDT)

Screen size

I noticed you combined my screen size trivia with the opening statements. I think that might be misleading because I don't believe the original screen was as big as the current one. (Although it might possibly have still been the largest. I don't know.) I think it was only with the creation of CinemaScope, VistaVision, and such in the 1950s that they would have made the screen as wide as it is now. IIRC, the projectors that were in use when Birmingham Landmarks took over were from the 1950s. --Lkseitz 11:52, 19 October 2010 (PDT)
