Opened with Walt Disney’s “Follow Me Boys” and Robert Redford in “All The President’s Men”. The theater housed a total of 640 seats (with 320 seats in each auditorium) complete with an automated projection system. It was first operated by the Dubinsky Brothers chain and was first managed by Charles McLaughlin.

According to an article about its construction including the $64,000 project on the twin cinema, the theater’s original name was supposed to be the “Cooper-Highland Twin Cinema” but the name was dropped for unknown reasons.
