I went to the Liberty Theatre in Liberty, New York (the Catskills) when I moved there in 1969. It was a single screen theatre and showed double features. I recall seeing a double bill of “The Sugarland Express” and “Oklahoma Crude”. In fact, the theatre also got newer releases that were showing in New York City.
It wasn’t that elaborate and had no balcony.
It eventually became a Tri-Cinema. At times it was closed in the wintertime due to poor attendance and would reopen in the spring. I believe it was operating throughout the 1990s and into the year 2000.
I am also surprised that it is closed again, perhaps temporarily.

The Liberty Tri-Cinema was never a “Twin” it went from a single screen to three in November of 1975 with “Hearts Of The West”, “Benji” and “Earthquake.” It is closed.
A Wurlitzer theater organ opus 773 style 135 was installed in a Liberty Theater in Liberty, NY on 1/18/1924.
2005 was the last year the cinema was in operation.This is a shame as each theatre was of a good size. The main theatre had 550 or so seats.

Nothing sadder than an abandoned movie theater marque
