A friend of mine has some old cinema projectors that he uses to show movies in his backyard. Pretty neat!
This shot is of the projector just prior to showing a movie. It's aimed out of a window and if you look through the projection window you can just make out the screen in the distance.

I heard that DLP projectors create images one color at a time moving small mirrors very quickly. Using a fast shutter, with some luck, you should be able to see it as it happens, isn't it? Done. ;-)

I had a lot of fun making the ghost cinemagraph that I decided to make another. View comment below to see the animation. Full sized image can be viewed at stephenmertens.com/cinemagraphs
Overhead projector with an LCD video screen overlay, projected about 6' wide on my wall. Then we played Frogger and watched Amelie. This is a photo of the actual overlay.
These beam projectors were stripped of their aesbestos wiring and in the process the ceramic lamp bases were broken. The old lamp bases were a mogul pin base, and we replaced them with mogul prefocus, since the lamps are easier to come by (same as most 8" fresnels)

The stage itself wasn't anything special, but it was a little creepy at the foot of it.
The Arcadia Opera House was constructed in 1906, one of the first buildings rebuilt after most of Arcadia burned down in late 1905. The opera house was, as the name suggests, a venue for various performers and musical acts, from vaudeville to blackface. As motion pictures grew popular, a screen and projection room was added and movies were shown on a regular basis.
I don't know much about the later history of the place. I assume movies were no longer shown after the late 40s or early 50s and I don't know when the opera house ceased to be a venue. Fortunately, the building is very well-preserved. Small shops occupy the ground floor while the second floor, home to the theater, is now an antique store with a special section dedicated to the history of the Arcadia Opera House.
I don't often take inside pictures, but this place was pretty cool.
Oak Street, Arcadia.
