Parkway Cinemas

This theatre operated as a Plitt theatre.

when Cineplex Odeon bought Plitt,the theatre was sold to Syufy.(Later Century Theatres,now a unit of Cinemark Theatres)

I saw Star Wars at this theater. I remember seeing it up on the marquee. It was the right-most listing of the three. No idea what else was there. I also remember seeing The Black Stallion there.

I saw "The Black Stallion","Alien","The Muppet Movie" and "The Empire Strikes Back" here when i lived in Vegas btween spring '79 and fall '81.

Here is a 1970 ad. The address was:

3768 South Maryland Parkway
Las Vegas, NV 89119

So,obviously,this was part of the ABC theatre chain that gave us the Century Plaza in Century City. Question:when were theatres 2&3 added? because i can't imagine why they'd carve up that big,beautiful main screen they had.

ETA:Which is kind of appropriate since "Lovers and Other Strangers" produced by ABC Pictures.

I want to say that the "butchering" took place around early 1976. I remember going to a midnight showings of "Tommy" and another featuring Beatles goodies (Shea Stadium, Magical Mystery Tour, etc.) in late 1974/early 1975 and it was still one large screen.

When my boyfriend and I went to see "Alice In Wonderland" with Kristine DeBell in late 1976 (the movie was released in December), it was in one of the divided theaters.
