The Andria Theatre has been operating since at least 1941 as it is listed with 750 seats in Film Daily Yearbook of that year.
By the mid-1970s this theater had been twinned.

Shouldn’t this be listed as a twin in the header it was converted to a twin in 1975 and remained that until it closed.
Oened in 1940. Twinned in the late-1970’s and triplexed in the late- 1980’s. From the 1980’s through its closing in 1990 it was operated by Tentelino Theatres. Header should list it as a triplex.
Gentlemen, The Andria was originally a 1 screen house; in the photo; it was the storefront where the marquee extends over the sidewalk. it was adjacient on the south ( “ left ” in the photo )to a Gamble’s Hardware store which was remodeled to be a 2nd screen around 1974-75. The “ Andria 3 ” was an additional 1 screen theatre built in the Viking Plaza shopping center a couple of miles to the south around 1982. The Andria Twin Cinema & the Andria 3 did close around 1990-91 & were replaced by the Midway Mall Cinema.
Here is an interior photo showing the Andria Theatre’s main auditorium.
