This was a theatre that I visited many times as a child and teenager. I remember as you entered through the doors to the lobby, the concession stand was an island in the middle. Two theatres flanked each side and you had dual staircases to each auditorium. It was also set up very easily for a youngster to buy a ticket to see “Return of the Pink Panther” but go into a different theatre to see “The Exorcist” with your mom never knowing until you had nightmares that night. =)
The original four auditoriums were built with the mall and were originally designed as movie auditoriums, the three add on theatres were at another end of the mall, next to Service Merchandise department store and were retail spaces converted to auditoriums. Not as cosy as the other four, but a nice attempt to keep up with the demand for variety of choice that the multiplexes had.
I also saw “ET,” “Close Encounters,” “Back to the Future,” and many, many others in this theatre.
