Once operated by Associated Theatres, and later by Cinemette Corporation of America.

On March 4, 1968, the Crest Theater suffered minor damage from a second floor fire and not the main theater itself. Unfortunately, the fire happened during double children’s matinees “Treasure Island” and “Snow White” (NOT the Disney movies with the same names). The theater reopened a couple days later.

50sSNIPES commented about Crossroads Cinema on Jan 7, 2025 at 1:28 pm

The Crossroads Twin Cinema opened its doors on April 27, 1979 with “Heaven Can Wait” in Screen 1 and “Buck Rogers In The 25th Century” in Screen 2. The same management also later took over operations of the Perry Drive-In the following year in 1980.

The Crossroads Twin Cinema closed for the final time on December 6, 1984 with “Missing In Action” in Screen 1 and “Oh God You Devil” in Screen 2 due to the lack of business and attendance according to co-owner Joe Davis, leaving Perry without a movie theater ever since.

The Muse Theatre and the Roxy Theatre are two different theaters, both operated by Martin Theatres.

Martin Theatres opened the Muse Theatre on April 10, 1950 with Jane Powell in “Nancy Goes To Rio” (unknown if extras added). It has an original capacity of 725 Airlift upholstered seats (with 475 seats in the orchestra pit and 250 seats in the balcony). The Muse Theatre was named after its original owners Mr. and Mrs. Pat Muse.

The Muse Theatre was renamed the Simco Cinema in 1973, and was briefly renamed the Perry Theatre in 1979 before closing as a movie house in the early-1980s.
