There is nothing that is going to preserve this monumental building as a theatre, once the multi-plex is completed. It is the cities responsability to bring attention to it seeing as how they have spent so much tax $ on it already. What could happen is… if the Historical Society was notified of the theatre’s history, it would be Nationally noticed and no way could be torn down. That would make it possible to utilize the famous/beautiful building as another means of public use. Maybe an actual theatre, like the Marshall Artist Series, or maybe a place where local bands/singers could go and perform on seperate stages… there are numerous possibilities. Someone just needs to get the ball rolling.
