Arlington Theater

Some sources have listed this theatre as being part of the F&F Value chain, others have listed it as being independent

Either way, while this theater is nice for it's relatively low costs, I think a matinee is only like 7 bucks, it's DEFINITELY showing it's age. I go here all the time, and on one date I actually fixed the stairway lighting just by kicking a piece back in place. Of course some of the next patrons to walk the steps re-broke it, but can't blame them really. Also, the TERRIBLE concession stand video, which seems straight out of the 80's, has SO much wear that it's almost unwatchable now. They briefly went to an underwater themed one, but that didn't last long and soon they were back at the "futuristic city" video. This place NEEDS some work done ASAP before it falls into disrepair and people stop attending it.

American Classic Images shows this picture of this Arlington Theatre as Arlington Heights, IL. I see no reference to another theatre in Arlington Heights, IL either here or on Cinematour.

Any ideas?

Scott, the ACI photo must be of the original Arlington Theatre, which got a complete makeover in 1962, as described in the May 28 issue of Boxoffice that year. I'll link to the Boxoffice article on the first Arlington's page.
