The May 28, 1949, issue of Boxoffice had a photo of the Melody and Arco Theatres from the opening night of the Melody.
This page from the Kreso’s Restaurant site has additional history about the Arco and Melody theaters.
Went to the Arco several times in ‘64-'64.. Saw West Side Story.. As stated above, the seating was staggered. On the “short end” of some rows they had constructed a “farmboy chair” (our name for them), these were 1 ½ width seats.. you could see where two seat backs had been joined to make the seat.
Can’t remember anything special.. good popcorn.. snuck our friends in the exit doors..
