I spent many hours watching films here as a kid in the summer time. I loved the lobby and always wished for a full restoration. Now, I am in the business of restoring theaters (evergreene.com) but missed out on this opportunity. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the Rainbow.
In its later years it was a two-screen operation.
I added the site plan showing both theatres in this page’s photo section.
O.K. Thanks Monika.
The Rainbow is technically part of the Fox Redlands building.
Google maps lists a Fox Theatre at this address now.They could be wrong though,anybody know?
Photos of the marquee and auditorium of this splendid little Art Moderne theatre can be seen in this Boxoffice article from December 6, 1941. There is also a ground-floor plan of the Grove and its parent theater, the Redlands, which shows the relationship between the two houses.
Here is a June 20, 2009 photograph I took of the Rainbow/Grove:
