The first program at the Motorena, on Oct. 1, 1948, was a Bugs Bunny cartoon, the Technicolor two-reeler “Power Behind the Nation,” and the Technicolor feature, “I Wonder Who’s Kissing Her Now,” starring June Haver and Mark Stevens.

Was once part of the Highland Theatres chain. Should be added to the list of previous operators.
