From 2010 a photo of the Cinema X Theater building in Ottumwa.
16mm format.Wow.bet the film quality is horrible.
I believe some man in his 70s recently died in the theater. I probably don’t want to know the cause of death.
The manager was found dead just after opening time Tuesday Morning. Kenny McDaniel, 70, had run the theater since it opened. Police are investigating, and awaiting an autopsy, but Ken had serious health problems in recent years, and natural causes are suspected. It was estimated that he died Sunday evening, and was not found until Tuesday, since the theater was normally closed on Mondays.

OTTUMWA — The future of the former Cinema X Theater is up in the air, but it can no longer be an adult theater.
The theater closed after the body of manager Kenneth McDaniel was discovered on March 11, 2012. Bruce Darnell Pollard Jr. was convicted in his murder on Tuesday.
But the building has been silent for more than a year, which means it cannot reopen as an adult theater, said Planning and Development Director Nick Klimek.
