Its original screen was destroyed by a windstorm on April 14, 1974, costing nearly $75,000 in damages. A newer steel screen replaced the older screen around a month later just in time for the 1974 season to start. The windstorm also caused the roof of Screen 2 of the Belden Village Cinema to blow off that same day causing damage to some seating and carpeting, and that theater reopened three days later after a new roof was installed as well as updated seating and carpeting.
Actual opening date is February 5, 1938 with Cary Grant in “The Awful Truth” along with Disney’s Mickey Mouse “Lonesome Ghosts”, an unnamed Unusual Occupations short, an unnamed Screen Song, and a Fox Movietone Newsreel.
