I had friends who were projectionists, and we would rent a warehouse or store and build platforms to place couches, loungers, lazy boys and rocking chairs for mothers with nursing infants and children's chairs and have whole families of hippies watch old movies from the Thirties and Forties they owned that we were copying to preserve them, using old carbon-arc projectors that they owned. I made popcorn with real butter and it was great.

It probably is not the sort of thing that would work commercially but years ago we did a lot of Underground things that just would not be done these days anymore.
