New Zealand cinemas always showed glass advertising slides at the start of the show and again at Interval. After the slides, we had an OVERTURE, during this time we would run a curtain show with coloured lights, then open up with God Save the Queen which everyone stood for. This is a short reenactment at my home theatre the STATE Devonport Auckland NZ, its pretty much the way things used to be. However today Im using LED lighting, digital equipment and an ipad to control the show. I hope this brings back some memories for those old enough to remember and some fun for those too young to know......
