my guess is the interior is not very ornate. lalynch if your intersted in seeing a theater we are trying to restore, head down to Wayne, for the Wayne Theatre, we are there Sunday from 4 til late. Let me know
Confirmed, I called…oddly enough there is still someone there “When is the last day the theater will be open”.. replied with “Were already closed”. Such a shame.
I went to the Michigan today, I may have found a way up to the projection booth. Oddly enough right next to the possible entrance we a film reel, which now sits in my room. I may post a picture of the hidden stairway I found later.
Correction, the Riveria is also a atmospheric theater. I found out today that the theatre is the parking lot next to Park Ave. Apartments, and the acutal lobby is intact and is the Park Ave. Apartments mechanical room.

Wisper & Wetsman was a theatre chain. I believe the chain has ceased operations long ago.
yes, 1 screen theaters are not profitable as much as multiplexs. Plus now people are into their surround sound, stadium seats and could care less.
