4 or 5 years ago (or so), I’d get up on Sunday mornings and see their old black and white films with sometimes cartoons and their great brunches.‘
Lamb and eggs!
Yess. thanks for the 82 pics. I too grew up not far from Folwell school in So Mpls in the ‘60s-70’s. I could and did walk there. Very cool deco, sound. Real butter if I remember right. Reminds me of the Apache in NE mpls / Columbia Heights – thick glass, marble, thick carpets.. my fave as a kid.. cartoons, kid’s matinees, Disney.
I was there about 3 years ago when they had some sort of art exhibit and very old movies projected in the original auditorium. Remnants of the silent ‘screen’ were still there!

This theater has to be saved. Period. Move the building. Fundraise. Co-opt the work. Get ‘er done.
