Via the Grand Prairie Historical Society Facebook page. (caption to photo added)

I remember getting into the movie theatre in the “twelve and under” category for 75 cents. I am guessing that those “75 cents days” are over. Not having grown up in Stuttgart, I was never in the Majestic Theatre, but I imagine this photo will bring back some memories for a lot of people. Apparently, the theatre was mostly demolished sometime in the 80s. Parts of the old Majestic were salvaged for other buildings around Stuttgart. It was located on the south side of 4th Street, west of Main. I am told by a highly reliable source that the marquee in this photo is advertising the movie, “Man Who Never Was,” starring Clifton Webb, approximating the date of this photo as 1956. Photo Credit is given to the Museum of the Arkansas Grand Prairie. The photo is also found in Glenn Mosenthin’s book, “Images of America: Stuttgart.” http://www.grandprairiemuseum.org/

Ran across this 1974 premiere footage of “The Three Musketeers” at the Odeon Leicester Square, not listed among the premieres in the Overview.

If you Google Envy Nails La Vale Maryland, click on “See Photos” in the right margin. In the upper right hand corner of the main photo, you can see the original brick rooftop extension that once held the Center Theatre marquee. The marquee outline is there as well. As of 2016 the entrance was papered over and appears vacant.

Further proof that the photo is indeed August `81, contrary to all other later release dates for “The Prowler” at the Woods in the background.

DavidZornig commented about Country Club Cinemas on Dec 29, 2018 at 11:47 pm

2 links confirming that it originally opened as AMC Country Club Mall 6. The December 7, 1998 Cumberland Times newspaper indicates Pixar’s “A Bug’s Life” playing at the AMC Country Club Mall 6. So opened some time before then. AMC closed it July 17, 2011 prior to a lease that ended July 31, 2011, and it reopened as Country Club Cinemas managed by WPA Theaters in August 2011, increasing the screen count from 6 to 8. WPA intended to keep the AMC staff, via the mall’s Wiki page.
