The Clairemont Theatre held a special place in my life as well. I grew up in Clairemont. In fact, the first movie I ever saw was at that theatre. I was four years old, and the movie was The Sound of Music, which played a whole year at that threatre. You are right, the theatre was not always a Twin theatre, it was once one large theatre. It was also the theatre I saw Star Wars at for the first time, first showing. I wish I knew what date that was, as I know the theatre did not show it on May 25th, opening day, but later. I think I was around 10 years old when the converted the theatre into a twin theatre, so around 1975. Linda :)
