Just a minor note. This venue was always the “Rainbo” and never the Rainbow Theatre. And, in fact, Chester V. Fleming who opened the Rainbo on a 20-year leasing agreement, as well as the Luxor and the Park-Vu, opened a restaurant in town called the Rainbo Café after he left movie exhibition in 1956.
