Property is for sale. Building and sign still standing. There are many pictures of it on the Loopnet page. Looks like a Jerry Lewis, but no, a United General! Most intriguing is that it was 16mm, according to Boxoffice magazine of 8-7-1972: “Ted Damerow’s Oakland Mini-Theatres has opened United General mini-theatres in Clarkston, Milford and Romeo, Mich. All three houses will use 16mm film and feature family-oriented films, according to Damerow.
The Clarkston Cinema is a 266-seat house located on Dixie Highway and will be operated by Damerow. John Henn is licensee of the Cinema in Milford, a 171- seat house located in the Milford Shopping Center, and the 320-seat Lantern Theatre on Van Dyke Road in Romeo is operated by licensee Gene Powers."
