We probably won't see anything like that again in L.A., anyway! The theat=
er
you're referring to is a travel agency now, and the 4 Star, the only othe=

theater in greater Los Angeles equipped to run dual-strip 3D, recently
closed as well. When Warners wanted to run the Marvin the Martian 3D shor=
t
for Academy Award consideration last year, they could find only one theat=
er
anywhere in the area with a silver screen and they had to bring in their
own equipment and punch a new hole in the wall just to set up for it!
