The Startime Cinema was just the latest of several attempts to keep a theatre going in Roswell Town Center. The first attempt was on the lower level just right of the elevators. They sold the tickets on the top floor, which was a little awkward, then you went down to see the movie. The place never really ‘took.’ Other movie houses sucked the life out of it. There was another cinema nearby at Brandon Mall.
I may be wrong about about the May release, but I am fairly certain Star Wars was playing at Permimeter in mid-late June and throughout July because we passed the theatre often. I had a friend who saw the picture there five or six times there before we saw it in mid July.
My father and I saw ‘King Kong’ with Jeff Bridges in 1975. Two years later the cinema began getting a little on the seedy side and played racey material mixed with re-released stuff. Not knowing this I took my first date here to see “A boy and His Dog,” and “Flesh Gordon.”
In 1977 Star Wars played at the Permimeter theatre for months on end. It began running in May and played through July when I saw it for the first time. I remember the glass lobby…very neat. The air conditionnig was crazy out of control. I also saw ‘The Deep’ the same summer here.
