A"Return to the 1950s" party followed the first show. Guests wore cardboard spectacles with red and blue lenses as they watched the film projected on the Omnimax dome. The experience, they agreed, was "fantastic." Among the first-nighters were Augusta Starkey, Susan Golding and Dick Silberman, Leni Arnhym with her son, Robert Arnhym, and Chris and Bob Fontana. AMalt Shop menu and plenty of "Shake, Rattle and Roll" music helped set the '50s scene. So did a cluster of vintage automobiles, including a 1949 Ford club coupe with a pair of fuzzy dice dangling from its mirror, and a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air sport coupe equipped with even fuzzier dice.
