Closed December 31, 1990.
July 29th, 1971 grand opening ad as Jerry Lewis can now be found in the photo section. It was renamed Glenbyrne in 1974.
Yes; that theater became the Showcase Cinemas Toledo.
All I remember of the place is that it opened in 1971 as the Jerry Lewis Cinemas. That’s right…funnyman Jerry Lewis had a chain of movie theaters in the early 1970’s. I remember seeing a photo in the lobby of Jerry Lewis at the grand opening. It was a typical mini-cinema of the day, a trend that had recently began in the early 1970’s of building shoe-box size movie theaters, many which still exist. The building is now a “beauty” college.
