I managed this place while I was in college. We were operating only Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This had to be back in 1963 as we discussed if we should close when President Kennedy was shot. We decided we needed to stay open so parents could have a place to send their kids.

We operated on the cheap and still could not make much money, but I had a great time and learned a lot about the business.

I grew up by this theater, and was thrilled to get some information on it, as it has always caught my eye, with the classic sign and architecture. My dad saw “The Wizard of Oz” here as a kid. The flying monkeys scared him so much that he had to leave and ran all the way home.
