Quaint and distinctive little movie palace still open and showing first run films in this college town. Not quite sure when the theatre was twined or if it ever was equipped with an organ.

Need to add AKA Rocking Chair Theatre to the header.
It is really remarkable to find a theatre which has been in continuous operation for 85 years and in such remarkable shape! Even though the auditorium has been reconfigured into a twin it is salvageable in that the original proscenium and backstage area remain intact although entomb behind a massive wall of sheetrock.

Official opening date was May 16, 1926.
Hi Chuck, Mike & Jack, We are currently working on plans to take out the “massive wall of sheetrock”. We would appreciate any suggestions or advice. Thanks! Cindy
