I have fond memories of the Cooper since I saw How the West Was Won there as a young kid, and later The Greatest Story Ever Told, It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, 2001, and others, including (on my first date) Airport.
It has always been my favorite movie theater, but I didn’t realize that it and its sisters in Denver and Omaha were considered the best Cinerama venues until I read the Wikipedia article on Cinerama.
So I am saddened to also learn tonight that all three theates have been torn down. To Jesse or others interested in seeing one rebuilt: original blueprints are in a Denver library.
