Our family ran the Theater with Audrey Jacobs taking the job for a year and ran it for 50 years when she retired. It was a family enterprise and started with the running of both the Soquel and Capitola Theaters. The original builiding was an old quansit hut purchased from military surplus according to my father, Merton Jacobs the nephew of Joseph and Racine Jacobs.

Audrey used to say that the theater was her baby and after all she was the first woman to run a movie theater in the state of California.
