I saw “Star Wars” there when it premiered in ‘77; my friends and I couldn’t get tickets to the Pink Floyd concert, so we decided to see this movie I’d read about in “Starlog”.
I’m sorry to hear that it’s closed.

Tinseltoes, something is missing in your thread.
I don’t think so. There seems to be a problem with their “Vault” section. If it’s not working within 24 hours, I’ll remove the link.
Tinseltoes, Box Office is back online again.
