I worked here in 1990-1991. It was a decent theater and the big house was really top notch for its' time. The old marquee used to be on the right hand side though, before the facade was installed. I used to have to update it weekly and it was closer to the exits on the right than the box office which was on the left. The AMC on 59th was the biggest competitor but for those three intersections (59th, 51st, and 43rd) there was a theater on each corner. (AMC, Mann, and UA on 43rd). The original dollar theater on Bell was all the way at 27th Ave, but the UA became a dollar theater eventually because the AMC and our theater were busier.
I worked here 89-91. It was one of the busier theaters due to it’s proximity to Sun City. There was one large auditorium with 7 smaller theaters.
