This was part of the Schneider-Merl chain in the early eighties.
According to Bowers' “Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments” page 551, there was a “American” theatre in High Point equipped with a Reproduco organ made by the Operators Piano Co. I could not find a page for the American, so I am putting this here for the time being.
A February 1976 article in the High Point Enterprise stated that in the early and mid 1970s the Towne ran heavily edited versions of adult films such as “Deep Throat” and “Devil in Miss Jones”.
The Towne Theatre opened in the mid-1960’s as High Point’s first ever suburban theatre with a seating capacity of 760 seats. A lot of blockbuster movies played at the Towne Theatre including it’s original engagement March 22,1972 showing of THE GODFATHER.
