Opened with Peter O'Toole in “Goodbye Mr. Chips”.
It was twin in the late 70s I work for sameric at macdade drive in it was twin long before the drive in closed
March 21st, 1970 grand opening ad in photo section
“Return of the Jedi” played there as a twin, so 1983 was the latest it got twinned.
It could have been the early 80’s because the McDade drive-in closed after the 1983 season. I do know I saw the Hindenburg here and it was a single screen theater. Of course I could be mixing it up with the Eric Pilgrim Gardens which was always a single theater.

This theater was twinned several years earlier than the late 1980s claim.
It opened as a single thetaer when they closed the McDade Drive in sometime around 1983.It was twined in the late 80’s Not sure when it went to 4 screens. Was not the best theater around.
Actually the ad I have for Friday the 13th part V in March of 1985 list it as a 4 screen, so it was a 4 screen long before 1993..
Check out the photo section here. I put a lot of ads up..
Wow, finally a listing for this theater. I got lots of ads to post on the photos section so look out for em. Seen cocoon in summer of 85 and then seen the terrible robocop 3 in fall of 93. that was the last movie i seen there. I only seen these 2 movies here. But it showed alot of cool movies in its heyday.. Friday the 13th part 3 in 3-D Amityville 3-D. Halloween III, just so many to name.
There are some pictures of this theater on its page at CinemaTour.
