Brynn Marr 3

This is the opening day ad for the Brynn Marr.

There is a town in Pennsylvania called Bryn Mawr. I think the etymology is Welsh. I'm curious to know if this is some variation or totally unrelated.

Opened in 1975 and was operated by the Stewart and Everett Theatre chain as a twin cinema.
Known as the Brynn Marr 1 & 2.
The opening features were "The Prisoner of Second Avenue" with Jack Lemmon that played in screen one while screen two shown "The Four Musketeers" with Charlton Heston and Richard Chamberlain.

As an aside, "The Four Musketeers" was actually filmed the same time as "The Three Musketeers", a year or so earlier. Apparently the length of the initial project, prompted the studio to cut and release it as two films instead. I read where a lawsuit was filed by the actors, as they were initially paid for only the first film. They supposedly won and were later compensated for the second film.

The Playboy Theatre in Chicago ran both films together during some of their midnight double features in the `70's. Yesterday would have been Oliver Reed's 71st birthday. A star on both Musketeer films.

Running two completely different themed films at the Brynn Marr for their grand opening, made good business sense as to appeal to a wider audience.
