The Visulite Theatre dates back to March 5, 1940, when it opened with Robert Young and Lana Turner in “Rich Man, Poor Girl”. It was built by Jeff Hoffheimer, who had already opened the Visulite Theatre’s in Norfolk, VA and Staunton, VA. Seating was provided for 540, all on a single level.

Not sure when it got the cheapo marquee and the dull name, but it was still the Visulite in 1991, and still had the original marquee.
The actual opening date is March 5, 1940, yes with “Rich Man Poor Girl” along with a comedy, cartoon, and newsreel (all unnamed).
