Another 1983 photo is here.
the URL’s posted on 5/27 & 28/07 are not functioning URL’s. The Plaza Theatre closed in 1985. It had been operated by Publix, later by Irvin-Fuller Theatres and finally by Roth Theatres.
The PLAZA Theatre was going strong in the summer of 1977 with Gladys Knight in “PIPE DREAMS” rated PG.With FIVE showings. Thank goodness the other IRVIN-FULLER Theatre in town had “STAR WARS” because on the other screen at the PLAZA was a VERY WEAK “STARSHIP INVASIONS” rated Pg.
Also Showing at the Plaza “POLTERGEIST”, “HANK PANKY”,“PENITENTIARY” “MOUNTAIN FAMILY ROBINSON”, “NOSFERATU”[one week only],“CUBA” and “THE VISITOR”. While all the other theatre chains in town had matinees every day the IRVIN-FULLER Theatres for some strange reason never did.
