Retrofitted air conditioning? Those old theaters weren't designed for A/C.
Oooohh - Cinerama! I remember as a kid seeing "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad
World" in Cinerama at a theater in downtown Detroit.

Now I had to DuckDuckGo: http://incinerama.com/ctmusichall.htm

Said film ran starting 11-Feb-1964 for 55 weeks. I was a paperboy for the
Detroit News, and they gave us free tickets to the movie as a bonus. I
think I remember it being during Christmas vacation or maybe Friday after
Thanksgiving, which fits the dates. Probably nearing the end of its run,
viewership down, so let's give away some tickets.
