50sSNIPES commented about Twin Open Air Drive-In on May 15, 2026 at 9:05 pm

This was later known as Loew’s Twin Open Air Drive-In, and finally Loew’s Drive-In for its final year of operation. This was because one of the two screens closed after the 1959 season. The other screen continued operating until after the 1960 season. It was last operated by Loew’s Inc.

50sSNIPES commented about Ohio Theatre on May 15, 2026 at 2:41 pm

The Ohio Theatre opened its doors by H.H. Johnson on October 4, 1938 with the Marx Brothers in “Room Service” along with Disney’s Mickey Mouse in “Mickey’s Parrot”, a musical short on Vincent Lopez and his Orchestra called “Queens Of The Air”, and “March Of Time” Volume 5 Issue 2 (“The British Dilemma” and “U.S. Firefighters”).

The Ohio Theatre was later renamed Ohio Twin Theatre when it was twinned in 1978. The Ohio Twin Theatre closed as a first-run movie theater on September 7, 1993 with “Hocus Pocus” in Screen 1 and “Surf Ninjas” in Screen 2.

It reopened as a second-run house (mostly family-oriented) in October 1996 as a “held over” house, which run movies after first airing it as the nearby Madison 6 Cinemas. The original Ohio Theatre name also returned. One of the auditoriums closed by 2014, and the other auditorium continued to last until its closure by April 2016.

The Orpheum Theatre was renamed the Hoosier Cinema on January 10, 1986 after a five-week closure, reopening with “Back To The Future”. There was also a plan on twinning the theater, but that did not happen, and its reopening didn’t last long at all.
