I remember this theater when it was one screen. We would go to it as children in the 60’s. One time, on a Saturday, they played the old Batman serials, either in order, or as an edited package.

I hated it when it was broken up into three screens, but liked the screen in the balcony theater for its larger size.

Wally75 sent me these two photos a while back. Sorry for the delay in posting, Wally! The shots were take in 2003 (per the camera date stamp) and I’ll leave it to Wally to elaborate on their backstory – if he feels so compelled.

It’s still listed in the theater listings in the paper, although under the phone number, it says “Theater Closed”.
