I recall this being the last one screen cinema built in the area. A few years after it opened a 3 screen UA Cinema went into the new shopping mall less than a mile away. They were the only cinema that I know of that showed 70mm prints. I saw the first Superman movie there and Star Trek the Motion Picture. I remember they had a convention sized booth display (with a huge cardboard backdrop of the movie poster behind it) in the lobby selling knick knacks. Pins and belt buckles and the like. I ended up getting a small gold pin. They also had free matchbooks with the poster art in 2 colors so I grabbed one of those as they were free. It has been a casino since the mid 1990’s.
