Arno
Buchholtz at his work as a projectionist at the Tonhallen-Lichtspiele.
A
former friend of mine, Arno Buchholtz (1942-1995), who died many years ago,
was a projectionist at the Cinerama-Tonhalle cinema in Duesseldorf.
There he took some slides which show the projection room with the
Cinermiracle-setup and the projected film on the screen. I had the slides
scanned and I am glad to be able to send you some copies. Most of the slides
are screenshots photographed from the actual projection of
"Windjammer"
in the "Tonhallen-Lichtspiele" (Duesseldorf, Germany).
After his death I inherited the slides (together with a small box containing
"Cinerama Test Loops", very short segments of Cinemiracle or Cinerama film
(most likely cuts and leftovers from breakdowns) and a "Cinerama Showmanship
Manual"

The
auditorium and the screen of the Tonhallen-Lichtspiele, but it could be the
screen for 70mm rather than Cinemiracle.
I never saw the "Tonhallen-Lichtspiele"
myself. When I spent some months at Duesseldorf in the early 80s to work at
a legitimate theater, the "Tonhallen-Lichtspiele" (not to be confused with
the "Tonhallen"-concert hall) had already vanished for some time.
Let me finally use the opportunity to thank you for all the great work you
do with your "in70mm"-website of which i am a regular visitor. I once had
the privilege to attend one of lectures at the 70mm-Festival in
Karlsruhe (but that was some time
ago when Georg Fricker was still alive).
