Digital film switch daunts historic movie houses

In this Jan. 19, 2012 photo, Arnie Herdendorf, the projectionist at the Palace Theatre in Lockport, N.Y., stands inside the theatre. With the movie industry's rapid switch to digital technology, Herdendorf worries how long his job will be around. The questions for the historic movie houses are even greater: Can they afford to survive the switch to digital?
