NOTABLE FEATURES Classic Cinemas is known for its extensive and historically sensitive renovations of historic theatres some of which includes painstaking recreations of plasterwork, glass, marquees etc. Classic Cinemas owners Willis and Shirley Johnson, are members of a number of preservation societies, as well as Theatre Historical Society of America. The Theatre Historical Society is currently located on the second floor of Classic Cinema's York Theatre in Elmhurst, IL. Classic is also a major user of the HPS-4000 speaker system and acoustic / audio design. During a period in the 1980's when certain major films were released with 70mm prints for selected theatres Classic (then under the Tivoli Enterprises name) featured these wide gauge prints at their flagship Tivioli Theatre for bargain prices once they had come off first run engagements. This might be the only example of a "sub run" theatre showing films in that format. LOCATIONS
