This is the Pharaoh at night.
Ken doesn’t miss much. LOL
Here is another photo.
LM, you think that Ken will get this one updated?
Thanks for posting the link to the website.
It’s run by Globe Cinemas. Here’s their site.

They also run the Twin and I-70 drive-ins.
No problem. I’ll send you a bill for the advertising. LOL
I haven’t found a website for the Pharaoh Cinema 4. Would the chain for this theater be independent?
Thanks for the plug Lost Memory. I go here often because it’s not too crowded and it’s a nice reminder of my childhood.
The name of this theater is now the Pharaoh Cinema 4. Phone: 816.836.9555 A photo can be seen on Aparofan’s site.
Here’s a newspaper ad celebrating the opening of this theater on June 20, 1975.

This was one of my favorite theaters growing up. It was down the street from my junior high school and my mom worked across the street for several years. I spent a lot of time at the arcade that was right next door too. It opened in the early ‘70’s as a Mid-America theater. By the early '90’s, it was a dollar house and the owners weren’t keeping up with the upkeep. It had fallen into disrepair. Globe Cinemas bought the theater a few years ago and totally renovated the inside and outside. They renamed it the Pharaoh and turned it into a first run house again. Here are some pictures of the new exterior.

It’s now a real nice theater that doesn’t draw the huge crowds the megaplex on the other side of the city does. It’s a nice moviegoing experience.
This is a recent photo of the Independence Cinema marquee.
