The very last movie screened was Disney’s home on the range. the Rocket neon sign, donated to Fort Lewis College by the Scales family in 2008, shines on at an iconic restaurant located on the top floor of the Student Union at Fort Lewis College.
Final film as a one screener: “The Bombs: There’s a triple bill of motorcycle flicks – “The Hellcats,” “The Sidehackers,” and “Hell’s Belles” – at the Mt. Vernon Motor-In.”
Final film as two screener: “Turner and Hooch” and “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” on one screen, and “Lock Up” and “Cage” on the other.
Then no films were advertised for several years (from the end of 1918 to the middle of 1923), which means either that none were being screened, or that there was only one exhibitor and local people were so familiar with the cinema routine that no advertising was necessary.After the Amusu opened in 1923, competition between the Amusu and the Town Hall was sometimes fierce, but both venues managed to remain in business for the twenties and early thirties, both under the same management from at least December 1929. Then Frank Buxton bought both leases and from August 1930 closed the screenings at the Town Hall. In 1952/3, Goldfields Pictures moved from the Amusu to the Town Hall, intending to upgrade the facilities there, but when this proved impossible they bought out Smith and Jeffries who had taken over from them at the Amusu and returned to the Amusu.The building is still in use as a municipal facility, housing the hall and offices and an art gallery.
Opened June 24 1960 featuring a puppet rendition of Molière’s five-act comedy of 1670, “The Would-be Gentleman.” and closed October 5 1978 when it was burned in a fire with 144 seats.
