Not a problem if it is like that everywhere...
New Order (the british band) got a surprise while on tour in the States
(i think it was in Boston), their act was a short one (i think 42
minutes) so they did the act and went back to the lounge.
15 minutes later the local constabulary came in and escorted the band,
some people in the audience had by that time started a riot (because
they were disaffected by the short act and the non-appearance of the
usual EXTRAS !)
New Order at that time didn't play extras at all, in fact they didn't
have any suchs prepared.
Did all theatres have two projectors?
I can't imagine anyone running feature length movies in the 30s using
a single projector. You would go out of business. It takes several
minutes to switch over the junk when a reel ends and I can't see
anyone sitting there for several minutes watching a white screen while
the guy dicked around with the film.
In our theatre whenever the arc was off, sound went out, or the film
broke, people immediately complained up front and/or yelled out in the
house.
