AMC Esquire 7

It may be interesting to some that when the theatre opened the manager was Harry Greenman, who was the first manager of the Fox Theatre in St. Louis. Also, when the theatre opened it presented a few weeks of “stage shows” (on the apron) and featured was Tom Terry as organist who was the organist at the Fox when it opened. Esquire organ, however, an electronic not a pipe organ.

Theatre became first run in the mid-50s. The first film I remember under this policy was a hard-ticket run of “Around the World in 80 Days”.

YES, the Esquire is a St. Louis Metro favcrite! I am in my 50’s and I remember very well as a child the big trip to St. Louis from Belleville, IL to see the latest movies at the Esquire. Glad to hear that the Esquire still has retained its old Movie Palace atomsphere. Phil Waigand
