  1. projectionist
    the person who operates the projector in a movie house
    Of the 31 operating historic theaters identified by Mr. Kennedy, 19 are community-run, little changed from the days when itinerant projectionists packed their automobile trunks with reels of film and hit the road.
  2. rejuvenation
    restoration to a more youthful, fresh, or lively condition
    Their collective rejuvenation reveals a can-do spirit — as in Cando (population 1,250), home to the historic Audi Theater.
  3. marquee
    large and often sumptuous tent
    In an age of streaming videos and DVDs, the small town Main Street movie theater is thriving in North Dakota, the result of a grass-roots movement to keep storefront movie houses, with their jewel-like marquees and facades of careworn utility, at the center of community life.
  4. ubiquitous
    being present everywhere at once
    ”
