A very underappreciated Art-Deco gem! Attended a showing of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" there last night and was very pleased with the theater and my experience as a whole. Admission was $3.00 for everyone. The theater only had 2 staff, a guy and girl in their late teens/early 20's but they were very friendly and seemed quite proud of their little theater. They still have an old style ticket machine and a small lobby. The man working there told me that the theater opened in 1940.The carpet and paint were newer and the auditorium had painted, sloping wood floors and newer, comfortable seats. There is no balcony and the booth sits about 6 1/2' off the floor. Much of the theater appears to be original with a stucco-like material on the ceiling and walls and one Art-Decoish cowboy on horseback mural on each wall. The projection is from a platter system.
The bathrooms are in the basement and are quite interesting to get to. Standing 6'3", I had to tilt myself backwards to walk down the steps!
The outside features a beautiful marquee with chasing lights.
The theater is very clean, well kept and beautiful. A must see for any theater historian!
