According to Glazer, the Boyd was the “only Art Deco first-run moving picture theatre erected in the city” of Philadelphia.  In 1963, the Boyd underwent a transition from the three-projector Cinerama system to a single-projector system, though Glazer only mentions the three projection booths being installed.  He also mentions, interestingly, that “when Cinerama product was no longer available, the Boyd had a brief period of porno.”  By A.
