Nope unless you count the movie audio pumped in from the theater
section as vibration.  

The lobby and foyer lights were probably on a different circuit from
the marquee lights, which may have had different voltages, glitches,
surges, etc.  I suspect that there were also some switching
transcients on the marquee side.  That was 45 years ago, and I didn't
think to measure any of that.  I just kept replacing light bulbs.
