I saw one of my first movies there without my parents. I was with Ricky Evans and we had taken the T-2 bus in from Potomac, Md and then walked up from the Federal Triangle stop. This must have been one of the last movies they showed (1978?). The movie was about an armageddon after a nuclear war had destroyed most of the world.
I remember the theater as a giant. massive creature, in a partial state of disrepair. But I was captivated by the theater as much as by the movie – I was so used to those shoe-box style theaters (can anyone from DC say “Studio 1-2-3” theater).
Even 25 years later, I was still thinking about that theater.
It seems that the movie was right, the armageddon did come – at least for the Keith’s.
