The only theater getting it here in Asheville is the Carolina and 12 of th 13 screens are nto wide enough to show scope so I am truly disappointed because this is one of my all time favorite movies and I am not willing to go see it on a screen that the picture goes off tot he side of the wall. :(
Information needs to be updated. In the early 80’s it was turned into the triplex drive in theater. There was a smaller screen put in front of the large single screena nd two other small ones to each side of the main one.
Can you tell me if they have a screen wide enough to show movies in scope. A lot of drive in’s dont and a movie filmed in scope is off the side of the screen in the air. I hate that.
I know the one summer we were there in 1965 they had the roadshow engagement of Dr. Zhivago. Can anyone tell me if this was a regular roadshow theater. It was the same year the Ocean opened which was hte roadshow theater from than on.
The apartments were above the theater and had a seperate enterance on the side. This theater had a great screen and beautiful curtians. Back in the 60’s they closed the curtains after each movie andafter the previes before the next feature started. I loved this theater.
This theater actually had a great auditorium and huge balcony. It also had box sections on orchestra level that were great. They never used theose or the balcony. I was 8 years old when they closed.
The problem withth is theater like any of the theaters in the Floyd theater chain is the screens are not wide enough to show movies in scope so the pictures goes off the screen and into the bushes. A waster of my money if I can’t see a film in scope the way it was meant to be seen.
Great looking theater. It looks very much like an old time theater. Great show last night. Even though it is much smaller than Radio City, it was great for the Tony awards.
There is no way this theater closed in the 1970’s. I grew up in Clifton Heights and it was not there even in the early 60s'. It is interesting to see the theater.

As frustrating as it is for you guys trying ot get the new site up and running, know we arer devoted to theis web site and will support you guys no matter how long it takes.
Beaucathcer screens are great they are all really large. The ones at Caolina cinemas are ok except they are typical flat screens. They would work if they could have masking that came down, but the manager said the theaters are not wide enough and masking coming down would not solve the scope problem.
In was in the shopping center that is now a Ingles supermarket. I asked around and it was in the right corner of the parking lot behind a small little area with 3 shops.
In the later years it was operated by the dreaded Frank Theaters.

It was a beuatiful old theater inside. I have many memories of the Adonis theater.

Was it originally a William Goldman Theater?
In the early 80’s it was still open showing porn double features.

Crazy Bob what about the old Starlight drive in off trhe BHP or the BHP Deive in on Route 30. I lveo Sally Starr.
I moved to Tampa in 1983 and the theater was already torn down.

Ok so where do they operate and build new theaters. I thought they were bankrupt and out of business years ago.

When Ilivedin Lauderdale it was a discount house.
I think if you look back, this tyheater had only 5 screens not 6.
Does the sign still say United Artists, or have they changed it to Regal?
