    See a movie in MN in the 70s or 80s?

    MINNESOTA — As a man of only 25, I missed out on all the great cinema-going experiences in the 70s and 80s. Stuck in the multiplex-riddled times of now (at least until we discover time travel), I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me paint a picture of local theaters in my area.

    Several theaters around here are not listed on the Cinema Treasures website, but I am interested in anything from way back then. I have no clue what the Jerry Lewis Cinema of Highway 13 and Cedar was like, nor the downtown theaters or even any of the many, many drive-ins.

    Any insight or comments can be posted here or emailed to . I appreciate your assistance!

    What theater is this?

    I am drama critic and theater editor for the Deseret Morning News in Salt Lake City. In checking some of the local theaters' Web sites, there is one that is featuring a photograph of a spectacularly ornate movie palace — a venue that is definitely NOT the theater being promoted on the Web site itself.

    I am curious if anyone can determine what theater the interior shot really is. Check out the www.artcityplayhouse.com website, then e-mail me with any input on what and where this theater really is.

    (The Playhouse was, until recently, the Villa Theatre in Springville, Utah, and the theater is definitely much smaller and plainer than the one depicted on their Web site.)

    Thanks — Ivan Lincoln at

    Grindhouse and Drive-in Book Project

    Hello All,

    I am writing a book about Grindhouse cinemas and drive-ins that flourished in the 70s and 80s (pre-video of course). The Kon-Tiki in Dayton, Ohio is especially close to my heart as I worked there after it became Salem Avenue Cinemas. If anyone could provide me with information on people who managed, or worked at these sort of cinemas, especially in Dayton, Ohio it would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Andy Copp
