My father was projectionist at the Co-Ed sometime in the 50’s and again in the early 60’s. I remember the projection booth having 35 mm projectors then.
The theater has been closed since September 12, 2012, but a local not-for-profit group hopes to reopen it. There is an article about this effort here, but it requires a membership or subscription in order to read it in its entirety
The Boxoffice article Tinseltoes linked to says that Al Hauetter was the architect for the remodeling when the Orpheum in Fairfield was converted into the Co-Ed Theatre.
If the Add Photo feature ever returned I’d upload that 2009 shot…
