I remember seeing “Seven Brides For Seven Brothers” and “The High and the Mighty” there at different times back when I was growing up in Knoxville in the 50s'. Great neighborhood theater.

I spent many Saturday mornings in this theater while growing up in the late 50s' and early 60s'. Cas Walker grocery store used to have coupons in the paper which let kids in on Saturday morning for 15 cents. They showed a serial like Batman and cartoons as well as the double feature. They showed a lot of three stooges shorts also. It was close to Tazewell Pike and Broadway. I believe there used to be a roller rink nearby on the other side of the street.
