“Kent Peterson” is right about Cine Capri’s lineage. The media was a little lax in that department. Harkins' was a relative Johnny-come-lately in Cine Capri history.
“p” is right about Caf' Casino. It was right next to the Cine Capri. There was another one near but not next to the El Camino, too. It offered French cuisine in a cafeteria setting. This was back in the days when we had a middle class in America. It was a little fancy trip that wouldn’t break the budget.
“RobbKCity” is right about the “Valley Art” in downtown Tempe. It was on Mill Avenue in Tempe (and as far as I know its still there.) It was one of Harkin’s first if not the first theatre. It predates the University and University II. It was there back when Mill Avenue was “Old Town” Tempe and not an annoying chain store mall. Anybody remember the elderly gentleman who was the projectionist for a long time in 70s, 80s?
“New Cine Capri.” In my opinion the “new Cine Capri” is not a new Cine Capri, but simply another megaplex with the name.
