I remember hearing about a concert held in the theatre but I did not attend. I heard it was very crowded and unrully and the theatre got damaged—torn seats etc… so they never had another concert there again.
Yeah! Lots of seats. I remember standing room only! People would stand along the side walls, and even in the lobby behind a short wall to see the movie. This was in the sixties. My first movie there was Mantis—a late fifties monster movie. I was about 9 then.

Nice article from the Box Office magazine! Great pics also. I remember in the late 1950’s and 60’s the starlike-space designs on the walls and even over the drinking water fountains. And the large sofa in the lobby. The men’s restroom had a small sitting parlor in it with ash trays and chairs.

As kids, we snuck up to the adult smoking lounge to smoke. We felt really cool. No one complained. But we did get a warning at times by the ushers when they caught us smoking in the mens restroom lounge.
