I remember the projector being way too loud – being close to the front row you could even hear it. The sound also isn’t optimal. Nevertheless, the theater is doing it’s best to renovate itself, and at least for the summer season, smaller, limited release movies get to play in northern New Hampshire.
View link for a (Dutch) review of the theater, which includes a couple of photographs.
Decent venue for arthouse titles, the screens are rather small though and the intermission halfway between the movies is irritating.

View link is a review of this theater (in Dutch), containing a few photographs for those interested.
Had the pleasure of visiting this venue a couple times recently. Focusses mostly on the bigger arthouse titles (and “serious” Hollywood productions), and it’s only second to the Tuschinski for the most beautiful art-deco interior in town.
A glass panel with historic items of the theater in the lobby is the newest addition, one that I can appreciate. The sound system is nicely up to date, and the reasonable admission tickets are refreshing ($3 on certain night/matinees!). Blockbusters tend to play first run, though they then stay there for 3-4 weeks.
Drawbacks: the overuse of family oriënted films playing, and that it can take many weeks for a movie to arrive (in some cases, three months after it’s initial release).
The prices have gone up several times in the past couple years, which contributed to the rise in playing movies in their first week of release (instead of waiting a few weeks until the prints become cheaper). It’s a rather basic theater for the rest, no style, less-than-adequate seating. Worth visiting if it’s the nearest (or only) place to catch a certain movie, but not special overall.

As of the first of the year, it has been closed down and will be demolished shortly to make way for a Joop van de Ende performing arts complex.
