I saw “Aliens” at the Mai Kai in 1979 and can attest to it’s big theater reputation. As kids, we always believed that a drive in would be built directly behind it because the rear of the building seemed just the right size for a screen. The Terrace Theater was the chief rival in the area being located a mile or so east on Plymouth road. Even though the Terrace was closer to our neighborhood, the Mai Kai was the place to go! Sad, I am only 47 and can remember the Mai Kai being built. Not a very long career for a nice local theater. P.S., the Terrace was subdivided and is barely surviving showing multiple features for $1. Life is tough when there is a multiplex in the mall right across the street.
