In 1963 this theater was operating with an adults-only policy and advertising as the “Howard Follies.”
I grew up 3 blocks from this theater and I don’t remember this ever being an adult theater.It was purchased in the mid 60’s by a private buyer and turned into an old style movie theater showing films like Godzilla 1954 an old western serials.This didn’t last long and within a few years became a Baptist church then eventually an apartment complex.
