Towne Cinema

Closed in 1958 and reopened as Towne Cinema with “Live and Let Die” on August 10th, 1973. Another ad posted.

I saw movies here all the time when I was a kid. It was close to the Beckley Junior High School down the street (now closed and turned into something else). We used to walk here after school and see movies. I remember vividly seeing GREASE, which always had lines around the block, the FRIDAY THE 13th movies, PSYCHO II, etc. It was always busy back then. I remember the wallpaper, which was never changed, which was drawings of various early movie stars like Theda Bara and Rudolph Valentino. Many memories.
