The stars were either little point lights that were dimmed up, or, beginning in the 60s, some places incorporated black light paint in their murals which would only highlight certain details once the "day" lighting was dimmed and the "night" black light came on. -Who here knows WHEN black light was first used like that? What year did Disneyland's "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" open?
