The latter information is not correct. The DeLuxe was still open in the early 1960s, though it had fallen on hard times,as had the neighborhood – – Uptown was filled with recent immigrants from the South. It was showing three third-run features for 50 cents. The lights never went up between features, for good reason; many of the seats were missing and when you arrived, you had to feel to make sure there was a cushion. One could also see day-long patrons passing the bottle back and forth. When the DeLuxe met its end, the space became part of Truman College.
