FangsFirst and other commenters, I am writing a book about Columbia’s movie theaters and wonder if you’d be willing to talk to me or lend me any images you have of the Forum. I have a nonprofit website comohistoricplaces.com and my email is . Thanks!

Keeping up with movie theatres is difficult. Here’s an article about Columbia’s theatres, including the Missouri Theatre – no longer primarily showing movies, but live performances. By the way, the Missouri Theatre was not the only “movie palace.” At one time, Columbia had three movie palaces on one street, all with roughly 1,000 seats. Two are still used for entertainment, the third is a restaurant.
