The Regis Theatre opened in March 1962 as a replacement of the Star Theatre, located next door, that got burned down in 1959. It once closed for a few years during the early-1990s.
A 1981 aerial view shows the theater, but I cannot confirm if its still operating or not. The screen was gone by the early-1990s but the projection booth managed to stand until the mid-2000s.
