Listed as a Comerford-Publix theater in the 1945-46 International Motion Picture Almanac.
The theatre currently has 350 seats.
The marquee was more impressive when the much larger ‘Columbia’ was still part of the marquee.
I saw this theatre in 1998 and the marquee is quite impressive. The floor has been leveled and seating capacity greatly reduced. The present seating is now stadium style.
