I work there running the projectors from 1983 to 1984 when Mr. Heon own the theater, I return to work there part time in 1992 to 1993 when Cineplex Oden own it.
The Wheaton had 3 theaters and was in better shape when Mr. Heon own it. (Mr. Heon also own the Greogetown in DC its now a store)
When Clneplex Oden own it, they did a real bad job in adding one more theater out of the main house, the theater and the equipment was in bad shape.
There where rats running around theater 4, this was a sad end to a theater that was a plesure to go to.
Its new part of the Target store in the new so once called Wheaton
Plaza
This theather stayed open until the early 1990’s, it even stayed open when the Lakefroset 5 open across the road in the 80’s. When
the Rio 8 near Shady Grove road open it force both Lakefroset and Montgomery theaters to close.
Montgomery was 1st to close with Lakefrost closing later in the mid 90’s
I worked a shift as an usher back in 1979, they where showing “Moonraker” in thearter 1 and I am not sure what was showing in theather 2, I worked at the Roth Quince Orchard theather from the winter of 1979 to the summer of 1980
I remember when it was KB Silver Spring, “I saw the Empire Strikes Back” in 1980, right around the corner was Roth Silver Spring West and Roth Silver Spring East theaters.
