  • In the '70s, I repeatedly saw this same moving background pattern but with a different, lighthearted synthesizer musical track. And on the screen, the wording was: "NOW PLAYING / CONSOLIDATED'S VARSITY THEATER".

    This was in Honolulu, Hawaii.

  • Astro Dater? .. I use to run this @ the Greenwood theatre in Trenton, NJ around 1970.

  • I LOVE THESE, VERY RETRO!!

  • Sorry amcvaughn but 'spelt' is a word. But what the heck, we all know what dr1947 meant. Anyway, what a trip back in time. Anyone remember Childrens Film Foundation? What great times at the pictures were had, when we stood up and cheered at the end.

  • I love these old bumpers. I wish someone would post some of the older movie bumpers from the late 60s and early 70s. There was one "Prevues of Coming Attractions" one in which the lettering was in a passageway, and another one that had spotlights moving around. If anyone could post these I would be very grateful. Thanks
