Growing up in the DC area during the 1960s and 70s, I enjoyed many wonderful movie experiences in this theater. Gone With the Wind’s 70 mm reserved seat engagement played this theater fall ‘67 through spring '68. Also saw Yours, Mine and Ours and Airport '75 here. Screen had a beautiful gathered cerise silk curtain that rose up. Remember the unique lighting fixtures as mentioned by sstrack. Was sorry to see it come down for another soulless office building.
