The Hiland Theatre was opened on August 3, 1927 with Bebe Daniels in “Senorita”. The only movie I can clearly remember seeing there is "Bambi" when I was about four. It was still open in 1957, but long closed by the time I was in high school in the mid-1970’s.

I’ve heard that a lot of the old theater still exists behind the current office space, to the point that there has been talk of reopening the Hiland as a theater again.

If the rumors are correct about a lot of the old theater still existing “behind the current office space” that is a good start to reopening the Hiland.

Patsy, there is a theatre in EDGEFIELD,S.C. where i was told by another old theatre dawg that the booth, equipment and everything is still in place. I think a dress shop of all things occupies the main theatre. So I bet a lot of old theatres still have the Booth intact.

What is the current status of this theatre in KY? Will it return as a theatre or has it been demolished? Need clarification. Thank you to whomever can provide current info. If it closed in 1979, what has occurred in that space since then.
