DXL Big + Tall now occupies the former site of The Village Theater. Ethan Allen moved to Legacy Village in December 2013.
Lion in Winter was first shown at the Village
I remember Lion In Winter playing here as a roadshow attraction. Was that its first booking?
Thanks for you comments pfmf.
It was the cleanest, best run theater in town. Shelly Silverman was the Manager. As an Usher, then Doorman I spent my time cleaning bathrooms and taking customers to their seats. I seem to remember that there were 910 seats.
Remember I was a Manager,whatever that means!
Okay,LOL.
I just did.I took all the AMC LOEWS off to make room.
Tisloews there isn’t enough room for you to list every Loews theatre as a Favorite.LOL.
Any photos?
The Village was built and operated by a local chain-lette run by Bert Lefkowitz called Community Circuit Theatres in about 1968 or 69. They also had the Richmond, Riverside, Berea, Showplace and Cedar-Lee. The Village was equipped with 70mm-mag stereo and was a roadshow house following the closure of the downtown theatres. I was there once (though I forget for what movie) and I recall it appeared to have about 800 seats. Loew’s bought out Community Circuit (except for the Cedar-Lee which Lefkowitz leased to Jonathan Forman) about 1975 in one of their erratic bursts of expansion and contraction in the Cleveland area.
