The 1970 IMPA lists the East Sprague and Dishman Theaters, and says both are in Spokane. The two theaters were part of Favorite Theaters, Inc, and were operated by J.J. Rosenfield. Here are the Favorite theaters at that time, all listed as being in Spokane:
Post, Garland, East Sprague, East Trent, North Cedar, West End, Dishman.
But, the Beverly was a nice theater, whereas I didn’t think too much of the Galaxy when it opened. I think the Galaxy took over the spot where CC Fudge used to be, and I was upset about that. Great hot fudge sundaes.

Try taking pictures in a church sometime. Even worse.
“Adult movies” says it all. Patrons probably aren’t that interested in the movie, anyway.
There is a photo of the former theater on the restaurant’s website:

OK. My memory isn’t what it used to be. I’m pretty sure the fudge place is gone now, though.
