The 30th location of the Chris McGuire Cinema circuit had 483 seats at opening. When McGuire’s chain went out of business in 1971, the theaters went to various other circuits. Gulf States took on this location as the Village 3 Theatre through 1974 Under new operators, it became the Village Triple. It closed October 31, 1978 with “Pretty Baby,” “Wedding” and “Stingray.”
