I remember going there when I was a child. My dad worked on the seats years ago. He reupholstered them and painted the metal frames. The cloth was red to match the red carpet on the floor up front.The frames were painted white. I remembered he worked in a back room to the left side of the screen which had a exit sign above the door entrance. My brothers and I got to sit on the front roll close to the exit entrance and watched our first movie. One of my dads brothers, my mother and two of my brothers would sometimes go and help dad tear down the seats and get them ready to be painted and covered. There was a lot of hours and days spent there to get this job finished. There was a picture taken of him standing in the middle roll section after the job was finished. I was told that the theather was going to be a tourist place and to be fixed up the picture was suppose to have been place in the front part to show what the seating looked like at one time. I do not know if it is still there or not. We did have another one but do not know if any of my brothers kept it or not. My dad said that the seats were sold to someone down south, he told me where but i can not remember. AS I got older I was able to enjoy going to the movies before it closed. My father is no longer with us, but the memories will always be. He did a wonderful job.
