The Lake Cinema actually opened on November 27, 1969 with a capacity of 740 seats, and yes it opened with Disney’s “The Love Bug” (but there was an open house one day before grand opening with a free showing of “Half A Sixpence”). It was independently operated at first led by Frank Andres of Osage Beach, who lived there since after World War II, but several years later it was taken over by the Mid-America Theatres chain. Mid-America would later open nearby Camdenton’s Lake Camdenton Cinema in December 1972. In the early-1980s, it was renamed Lake Ozark Cinema.
The Lake Ozark Cinema was twinned in 1984 after Commonwealth Theatres took over the theater and was renamed Lake Cinema Twin. This was followed by Wehrenberg Theatres in 1986 and was renamed Lake Twin Cine', which happened around the same time Wehrenberg opened the Osage Village 4 Cine'.
The Lake Twin Cine' didn’t held on much longer. On February 1, 1987 after running “Star Trek IV” at Screen 1 and “Top Gun” at Screen 2, the Lake Twin Cine' closed and was scheduled to reopen by two months, but unfortunately it never happened at all.
This started life as the Lexington Theatre. It opened in 1915 and did receive damage from a January 1923 fire.
The Lexington Theatre ran first-run features for decades and still retained its first-run mainstream policy when the nearby and short-lived Mews Art Cinema opened on September 29, 1973 on 10 Muzzy.
The Mews Art Cinema dropped art films in May 1974 when it closed for a couple of months. It reopened as The Flick on July 17, 1974 and began screening first-run features.
Both theaters merged into a twin-screen theater and became the Lexington Cinema 1 & 2 on November 15, 1974. A third screen was added on June 10, 1981 when one of its auditoriums split that caused a two-month closure to one of its screens. The film policy did had a little bit of an difference later on. As of the 1980s, it primarily ran selections of first-run and second-run features but it did added a small selection of independent features in rare occasions. Even at times, people who wanted to see a first-run feature must head to Burlington or Woburn to see it. At the time, the Lexington 1-2-3 was operated by Sack Theatres. This was followed by USA Cinemas in January 1986 and then Loews in March 1989. It was renamed the Lexington Flick in June 1990.
The Hunterdon Theatre opened its doors on June 11, 1942 with George Raft in “Broadway” (unknown if any short subjects were added). On opening day, the Ship Ahoy Minute Girls stopped by on opening day to sell war bonds and stamps to the audience. It was originally operated by the St. Cloud Amusement Company which operated 14 theaters in total across three New Jersey counties.
Eagle Properties took over the Hunterdon Theatre in 1972, but was unknown who later operated the theater in the 1980s and early 1990s.
