Manager W.F. Wallace and Proprietor H.B. Weller opened the Kahuluki Theater on May 17, 1918 with Geraldine Farrar in “The Woman God Forgot” featuring an original capacity of 750 seats and an original installation of a nitro-silver patent sheet screen. The theater was erected by the Kahuluki Railroad Company with an estimate $20,000, and it replaced the short-lived Lyceum Theater (which has the same amount of seats) after the Lyceum was destroyed by a fire caused by the projector during a packed showing of Jack Pickford’s “Freckles” on November 17, 1917. The fire caused the former Lyceum Theater to close after a little over five years of operation.
It was still open in the early-1960s, but its closing date was not known at this time.
Correction: The marquee picture I found is the neighboring Motor-Vu. I cannot find any picture that features the Santiam. Thanks to the Motor-Vu’s ad, it said that the Santiam was still operating that year.
Also, I read an advertisement that featured the Motor-Vu from a year later in 1986 and it does not demonstrate any info about the Santiam. So I’m pretty sure that the Santiam closed after the 1985 season.
Now known as “Warwick Cinema & Events Theater”, running mainly first-run and family films as well as some independent films. I tried finding any classic titles that picked up in the Warwick via WayBackMachine and I cannot find any unfortunately, so this page needs an update on its name and functions.
It still advertises in 1985. I recently looked through a page from the Lebanon Express and it features an advertisement for the theater with a very bright picture of the marquee in the daytime.
Still in operation in 1985 but closed by 1994. Speaking of, the 1985 aerial looks kinda confusing actually, because the traces look like that they were completely covered in grass. At the time, the Santiam is operated by Lebanon Theatres, the same chain that also operates the Motor-Vu in Lebanon.
This theater has been closed since either 2011 or 2012. It had three screens by the mid-2000s but it still kept its “Twin Cities Cinema 2” name for some strange reason.
After his announcement, Owens “unexpectedly” closed the downtown Chester Theatre on June 3, 1976 in order to focus on constructing his Cinema Twin at the People’s Plaza Shopping Center.
Opened on May 14, 1999. Grand Opening ad posted.
