MARTIN & CARMIKE were different chains that ran this theatre.
Towards the end this theater was really gross. I remember walking out of a movie (and I was on a date) from this theater.
It looks the same, but now is a christian fellowship
I used to take my two young daughters there all the time, during the late ‘70s and early '80s. It was a nice theater doing a brisk business back then. But the neighborhood deteriorated over time (I moved my family out of there in 1988), and the theatre eventually closed. I have good memories of enjoying family pictures with the kids.
I just posted a photo of the Opening Ad dated Dec. 22, 1972
Carmike Cinemas took over the Beechmont Twin in 1985 and sold it off by 1989.
This opened on December 22nd, 1971. Grand opening ad in the photo section and below
