2. I saw "How the West Was Won" at the Uptown in DC.

I assume its capability to show Cinerama films as intended was removed decades ago.

Cinerama

How the West Was Won was one of only two dramatic feature films (along with The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm) produced with the three-strip Cinerama process. Although the picture quality when projected onto curved screens in theaters is stunning, attempts to convert the film to a smaller screen suffer. When the film is projected in letterbox format, the actors' faces are nearly indistinguishable in long shots.
