Later operated by ABC Interstate Theatres. It became an independently operated dollar house afterward before it was twinned on July 9, 1982 as “Northshore 2”, and was divided into a quad in June 1985 as “Northshore 4”.
It most likely closed on October 5, 1997 judging by the final ad, but there’s a goof on the April 24, 1998 edition of the Houston Chronicle showing that it was still listed, but I cannot tell if it was still operating without advertising or not.
The North Shore Theatre opened on October 26th, 1967, as the “Newest theatre in the world” as their 13th location in Houston. Grand opening ad with picture posted.
Grew up in North Shore and have so many memories of this theatre. It was a large one screen with a rising and opening curtain, designed by Irving Klein and Assoc. (Houston). The same year North Shore opened, 1966. the Parkview Theatre opened as well. The theatres were identical in design. (Even signage). I cannot find ANY photos of the old North Shore theatre, only the Parkview. If ANYONE has access to a photo, PLEASE post it. Even when it was divided into two screens and became a dollar theatre, I loved it. As you can see…it’s a KINKO’S now.
Saw Christmas Vacation here in 89, as a Dollar Cinema
I assume you meant North Shore Dr. in Houston on the map link. Just put a space between North and shore and it will work.
