 Right outside its entrance, you'll find one of Lowell Thomas' stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Lowell Thomas actually has two stars on the walk, one for his movie career, and the other for his work in radio. The symbol on the star indicate which is which. | |
 Merian C. Cooper's star has his first name misspelled. | |

 Those large projection lenses are actually real second hand lenses that have been used in 70mm cinemas, and quite heavy. Not your typical nicknacks. One can be yours for $99.95. Why not buy a dozen? | |

 Cinerama camera #1 used to be on display in Bradford, but a few years ago it was moved home to the U.S. Unlike later cameras, this model has the three magazines mounted in parallell for easier dollying through narrow doorways. | |

 Cameraman Lance Fisher is eager to demonstrate the Cinerama camera, doing anything to please the festival audience... | |
 ...even taking the camera apart... | |
 ...and then finding it slightly difficult to reassemble, because it was unexpectedly loaded with film! | |
