dallasmovietheaters Where did you find this? do you have any more photos or info on Cinema 61 Pottsville Pa. I have been trying for years to find out anything so I can share this with my kids. Thanks for posting the pic.

This was my family’s movie theater, It opened with one theater then it added another 250 seat theater to be a twin theater. My father died on Oct. 1st 1978 (49 years old) of a heart attack and we still ran the theater after his passing until 1979 when my mother sold it to Dick Fox of Fox Theaters, It was still a theater until the mid to late 1980’s when it was closed. The spot was a Blockbuster video store for some years, Now its a Planet Fitness.
