I went there several times when this theater opened in the mid-1960s. I remember seeing Peter Sellers in “After the Fox,” “Yul Brynner in "Return of the 7” and Rod Steiger in “No Way to Treat A Lady.” I never particularly liked this theater and it was a mistake to build it in an area that was already starting to go downhill. I went there once when it started showing softcore porn. Those films were more memorable than the legitimate films I saw there.

I knew a projectionist who had this theatre for a few weeks while one of the main guys was on vacation. It had a huge Cinemascope screen. I remember the theatre being very wide. I dont recall alot more about it, except that it looked like one of the 60’s theatres Century built although I think it was always an independant.
