Doesn’t this closing leave Marion without a first-run theatre?

<<< “This theater was opened [as] a single screen theater by Cinema Centers in the early-1970’s and was then expanded to four and later to seven screens.” >>>

The Southland’s screen-count history as described in the intro fails to account for the period of time when it was a twin.
