Opened as the Lagoon Theater in 1913, it was remodeled and renamed the Uptown Theater in 1929.
Following a fire in 1939, it was completely rebuilt by the firm of Liebenberg & Kaplan.
Today, it screens first run art and foreign films. Midnight screenings of cult films are also popular.
This classic movie house has retained all of its stylistic charm and its restored murals.

The Uptown is closing at the end of January, 2012 for renovation. When it reopens, the balcony will not really be a balcony anymore. Go now while you still can.
