Opened on January 14, 1927 with Laura La Plante in “Her Big Night” with no extras, with the presentation supported by Helen Ernest playing the silver-toned Kimball organ, Leon Strashun conducting the orchestra who also plays a violin (formerly a concert master of the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company), a performance by the Five Merry Maids of Jazz, and a Portland-based male quartet. One of the songs that Strashun conducted during the movie is “Kiss Me Again”. Actress Marilyn Miller alongside her white charger Beverly made a cameo stage appearance on opening, and a stage appearance by the San Su Strutters was presented as well.

Current functions are first-run and restaurant.

A 1974 aerial view shows the theater with its screen and glory in great condition, but was already gone by 1981.

A 1977 topo does show the theater being listed, but they forgot to add the fan shape.

You might be right. Judging by how overgrown it looked on the traces, it probably closed during the late-1960s.

A 1983 aerial view shows the drive-in with its screen and glory, appearing to be in good shape, but was already closed by 1986, as that year’s aerial view shows the screen being removed.

A 1982 aerial view shows the drive-in intact with its screen and glory, appearing to be in operational condition. However, a 1993 aerial view shows everything as well, but I cannot tell its condition. It was already gone by the early-2000s.

Also, the Ampli is now known as Tater Patch Players. There’s not a lot of details about it, but it’ll have its own CT page once I find more information about it.
