The only thing I did not like was Buena Vista only showed movies secondary their priority was to do live stage shows they had no concession stand whatsoever to movies I saw here cat-o’-nine-tails and Beware the Blob! but I still enjoyed going!

I don’t mean trying to overstep somebody’s shoes but this theater was not closed in 67 I went there as a child they showed movies for $.35 when I first started going there and they showed movies all the way up to High Plains Drifter was the last one that I saw there but they played movies it was a movie theater

It re-opened maybe a year or two later and started showing movies again it was probably close towards the end of the 70s when it started doing the rock videos and soundstage I grew up here I remember when they had a baby soundproof booth I loved sitting up in the balcony. first movie I saw here I believe was a Sonny and Cher movie I can’t remember what the title was but I went to see the movie Billy Jack probably 50 times here and The Planet of the Apes.

I love this movie theater because their buttered popcorn was the best out of all of general cinemas theaters, plus like the other reviewers said, they played only exclusive road show movies at this theater I went to see earthquake here probably for 10 times and I didn’t realize back then that those SENSURROUND speakers were subwoofers anyway I hated it when they tore it down to put in a strip mall but it always showed the best movies I believe that Earthquake ran for about 10 months maybe longer if I’m wrong somebody correct me because I would like to know. Thank You
