I attached pictures from 1962 of the "Babyrama" baby-sitting area in the Loew's Cinerama in New York, which afterwards reverted to its original name, the Loew's Capitol.

Thanks to both you guys for all you do to keep Cinerama alive and well.

I just look again at your amazing report. CASTORAMA isn't a furniture store but a do-it-yourself store. What does CASTORAMA mean?

CASTOR = BEAVER, the animal which builds his home himself. So CASTORAMA = BEAVERAMA.

A rama located on Albany Highway, Cannington, Western Australia. I guess the marquee these guys had for the front of their shop may have encouraged them to use the Cyclerama name as it has a great curve!

"HIMBERAMA - THE 4D SHOW", including an animated stream of rabbits jumping out of a hat. Location is Times Square, New York, mid 1950s.

Born Herbert Richard Imber in Newark, NJ, Himber (1900-1966) was famous as a bandleader and practical joker as well as a magician and inventor of many magic effects, including the Himber Ring (after an idea by Persi Diaconis) and the Himber Wallet. In 1933 Himber composed the hit song It Isn't Fair. He managed Rudy Vallee's orchestra and finally formed his own orchestra and toured the U.S.A. with it. Other popular tunes that Himber composed were After the Rain, Haunting Memories, Time Will Tell, Am I Asking Too Much, and I'm Getting Nowhere Fast With You.

Great idea to present the various "Rama" pictures on in70mm.com !
