This opened on June 7th, 1985 by Chakeres theatres. Can you find the mistake in the grand opening ad below?

As a side note the surround speakers in the stereo houses were Radio Shack Realistic 3-ways. The sound was actually quite good. It was a hard theatre to manage. The projection booths were spread out all over, with separate entrances. Moving films from one auditorium to another was difficult and sometimes fatal when moving prints alone. The platters could sometimes give you fits. But, the larger auditoriums were very nice.

Operations aside, this theatre had some nicely equipped auditoriums. The picture and sound in its biggest houses were amazing. All good things must end, and this place could be good when it was done right.

Here’s one Dayton theater I do not miss. It was poorly designed and frequently had widescreen movies cut off on the sides of the screens. The theater also had a nasty habit of cutting off the films before the credits had run. Not only is Hollywood 20 a better theater, but so was Beaver Valley.

An assistant manager (or doorman) was talking on the pay phone in the lobby of this theater to an aquaintance when he heard a single shot ring out from the other end of the line. His friend committed suicide and his pager just kept beeping when attempts were made to contact him. I believe that was 1987.
