This opened in February 1964 with a capacity of 799 seats, although I cannot find the grand opening advertisement at all. It has the same exact features as the Boardman Plaza Theater.
The Lincoln Knolls Plaza Theatre and the Boardman Plaza Theater both had an original capacity of 799 seats featuring Norelco 70mm projection and sound system as well as Norelco CinemaScope installations. The seats were divided into three sections with two aisles as well as gold curtains dominating the decorating scheme. Many of its features were completely the same except for one major difference and that’s the color of the seats. The Lincoln Knolls Plaza Theatre had subdued champagne colored plush seats while the Boardman Plaza had red colored plush. At the time of both the Lincoln Knolls and Boardman Plaza Theaters' opening, the Liberty Plaza Theater was still under construction which contained the same exact features as the Boardman Plaza Theater.
The State Theatre became a concert venue on July 19, 1973 under the name “Tomorrow Club” before becoming the Youngstown Agora nightclub from December 31, 1978 until July 23, 1982.
The Newport Theatre actually opened its doors as a Red Cross Benefit on January 16, 1942 with Herbert Marshall in “Adventure In Washington” and Ronald Reagan in “International Squadron” (unknown if extras added). Local Blue Network radio station WFMJ-AM (now WNIO) also sponsored the grand opening with broadcasts in the lobby.
Opened on May 25, 1976 with “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” in Screen 1, Disney’s “Follow Me Boys” and “Ben And Me” in Screen 2, and “Echoes Of A Summer” in Screen 3.
The actual opening date is November 11, 1970 with Carrie Snodgress in “Diary Of A Mad Housewife”, and was first operated by the Cinecom chain. National Drive-In Theatres was one of its later operators. Its very possible that this started life as a single-screener before twinning. Otherwise, I cannot find as much detail about the Plaza Twin Theatre. It’s also likely that this may’ve closed in the 1990s or 2000s.
